About bterm font

Hi,

I'm thinking about bterm font (unifont.bgf).

Some months ago, I reported unifont glyph in 1st stage mini-root is
too little to support for dynamic-installed deb components. It means
some glyph will be not shown.

One solution idea is to load full-unifont from CD-ROM and use it by
restart or send signal. Unfortunately, this work looks don't make
progress.

Someone said full-unifont is too big to install into mini-root, but
IMHO we don't install really "full" font. Because Installer doesn't
provide any special input-method, so all of users can input is very
limited (their glyph will already be in mini unifont).

I couldn't make sure it is right way or not, but I checked if I add
all messages of po files in debian-installer into unifont.bgf.

Result is:

Nothing added: 61343 bytes
ja.po added:   71728 bytes
all po added:  85262 bytes

Well, size increase is +23919 bytes. Is this acceptable value?

I tried "make all_images" also, and suceeded (including floppy
support).

Thanks,
