 Simple workaround - open console before changing font. In patch I place
 sending ESC sequence before setting font, all work fine.

Thanks.  I didn't know what had caused the problem.

Sure this is not bug of console-cyrillic. May be kernel? But cyr already 
open virtual consoles sending esc sequence to each. Thus in cyr may be 
placed simple workaround, send esc sequence before loading font.

Other console packages (console-common, console-tools, etc) use 
unicode_start and don't open consoles. Due to this unicode mode is 
absent in tty[2-6] and workaround can't be placed in they.

Bug#309623: Incorrect work with 512b fonts on boot

Package: console-cyrillic
Version: 0.9-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I use 512 unicode font. After boot first console is good, but other don't
worked properly. They think they have 256 font (as showed by displayfont).
Simple workaround - open console before changing font. In patch I place
sending ESC sequence before setting font, all work fine.
