>Description:
I noticed that a lot of iso-8859-1 characters are displayed as
empty space on wscons. Most notable one is ssharp (0xdf), but
a lot more are missing.
As far as I can tell, igsfb is using in-kernel gallant12x22,
and that font does include nice glyphs at least at positions
0xdd-0xdf, which are not displayed on my machine.
