Current situation in Natty:

1) Booting normally in X and switching to vt1:
Font and charmap is not applied.

2) Booting in X *without splash* and switching to vt1:
Font is applied (e.g. Terminus), but not charmap, so I still can't see e.g. 
Greek.

3) Booting in recovery mode (vmlinuz single):
Everything works fine.


I tried troubleshooting it a bit, by putting a wrapper script around 
/bin/setfont. I saw that "setfont -C /dev/ttyX 
/etc/console-setup/Uni2-Terminus16.psf" is actually called for tty[1-6] on 
boot, and also *twice* for each tty, but something prevents them from actually 
taking effect.

Of course running that command after boot correctly sets the
font/charmap.
