You cannot add it to the kernel because the kernel does not support UTF-8, but only US-ASCII, and US-ASCII contains no code points for cyrillic letters. Full UTF-8 support is definitely not wanted in the kernel. Adding extremely minimalistic UTF-8 support to the kernel is not completely out of the question, but some developers are likely to feel sceptic even about that. Consequently, trying to pursue a project of adding anything related to UTF-8 to the kernel is likely to end in frustration if the person trying that does not have a significant amount of experience with getting OpenBSD kernel patches committed. I'm sorry that i know absolutely nothing about fonts in ports, maybe someone else can answer that part of the question. Yours, Ingo
