Henrik, I wouldn't give up too early, :) ... the fact there is some
change seems to be a sign you're on a good road :)
did you check your directory for the consolefontchars? Here (Redhat
6.2)
they're at 
/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/ and
/usr/lib/kbd/consoletrans/ (If I remember correctly, these last fonts
in
/consoletrans/ didn't work ...) but you might want to check your
/consolefonts/ directory ... find a font there that works on *your*
keyboard or machine ... perhaps not such a good idea to copy my command
from my first message literally, because I have probably a different
keyboard here than you do ... 

I need German fonts, so the command 
consolechars -vf lat0-12
doesn't perhaps work on an American keyboard ... I'd try and play with
the fonts in /consolefonts/

find your /consolefonts/ directory
do a 
ls */consolefonts/ | less

If I do here
ls /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/ | less
then I get stuff like this (just an excerpt):
---------------------------
[ ... ]
koi8u_8x14.psf.gz
koi8u_8x16.psf.gz
koi8u_8x8.psf.gz
lat0-08.psf.gz
lat0-10.psf.gz
lat0-12.psf.gz
lat0-14.psf.gz
lat0-16.psf.gz

[ ... ]
-------------------------------

for example you see the lat0-12.psf.gz above: if you want to use this
file for the command
consolechars -vf lat0-12
you'll have to zap away everything after the '12' to use it for the
command ... at least that's the way it works here :) ...

I'd try and play with it ... I'd bet that the modified command from
above will work for your console, too ...

Let me know if I can help ...

Wolfgang
