I was able to reproduce this issue with a previous hardy kernel, 2.6.24-23.52, and can confirm that the kernel in hardy-proposed, 2.6.24-24.56, improves the handling of these characters. One issue I did notice is that the screen blanking due to inactivity doesn't end up applying to the characters

I have also reproduced this issue with the kernel in intrepid, 2.6.27-14.35, and can confirm that the kernel in intrepid-proposed, 2.6.27-14.36, fixes the issue (though showconsolefont has some interesting artifacts in both kernels). Marking verification-done. ** Tags added: verification-done **

The man page is correct and it _will_ only affect the last 256 glyphs. You are right, I didn't read it carefully enough and understood it wrong. The trick is to mirror the colours indexed by 0-7 to the ones indexed by 8-15. If this were possible it would be another bug, because it does

Gosh, I think I found the little bugger. It seems this has been that way near forever but probably did not always matter (as long as your font only has 256 characters). The problem lies in the function that returns the font data of a vga console. It will only write back the first 256 characters
