This is good. So it has to be some configuration option... The problem is that in Debian UTF-8 is used on the console and console-setup makes no attempts to support properly UTF-8 on FreeBSD because as far as I can tell this is impossible (or at least completely undocumented). I mean there is no info how to use internationalized fonts with UTF-8. Unfortunately right now I don't have kFreeBSD on my PC - I had it installed on a hard disk I am using for various software tests and accidentally it was deleted..

Have you tested with recent > versions of FreeBSD? I haven't tested it on 10-CURRENT. I have it tested on 9.0. You are right - the section "TERMINAL TYPE" in the README is obsoleted (one could simply use TERM=xterm). But other than that everything seemed to work on 9.0 properly. As far as I could see only 8-bit encodings were supported on the console. The linedraw symbols were emulated with ASCII symbols (which was to be expected considering the use of unified terminal type).
