Thanks for the intrepid versions. I've just tested the i386 version in
the same machine as this report was created (see attached files above).

No character corruption occurs anymore in my sampletable.txt in tty1 ...
tty6. Correct characters seem to be displayed all the time. (Well I have
not double checked every single character with a Unicode table. But
those characters I happen to know by heart are correct and all other
look correct to me)

However, the characters previously corrupted appear in a different color
now. While all characters, which worked before are displayed in some
kind of grey, the "new" characters are displayed in white. Any
explanation for this? The problem is already mentioned in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/bugs/303561

The setfont(8) man page mentions that only 8 instead of 16 can be
displayed if a font has more than 256 glyphs. But I understand this
affects the whole console and not only the last 256 glyphs. If this
understanding is correct, the reason should not be that the "default
grey" is no longer available, because it is still used for all "have
always worked" characters.
