Indeed.

	I have a CD that has hebrew filenames (ISO 8859-8) and my NetBSD
console is unable to deal with the font issues. The kernel is properly
passing the data to the nfs daemon so when I mount the cdrom on my Linux
box via the NetBSD machine it properly sends the data. I would like to
know how to replace my NetBSD font with a ISO 8859-8 font, possibly from
Linux, but that doesn't really matter.
