I noticed the lines near "consolechars" in /bin/setupcon say this:
if which consolechars >/dev/null; then
if [ "$bigfont" = yes ]; then
echo "setupcon: The console-chars utility from the
console-setup font can load only fonts witn 8 pixel width
matrix. Please install the setfont utility from the kbd package." >&2
fi
eval consolechars -v --tty=$console -f "$FONT" $verbose
elif which setfont >/dev/null; then
eval setfont -v -C $console "$FONT" $verbose
fi
Since it looks like setfont is able to be used instead of consolechars,
I tried installing the 'kbd' package and uninstalling 'console-tools'.
Unfortunately, it still crashed on bootup. Hopefully this information
will help if somebody were to actually try to fix this bug.
