I don't believe we include any fonts on the boot disk, so you will get
whatever the default codepage is for your hardware.  No doubt it would
be possible to change this for particular languages if necessary: each
translator will need to decide for themselves.  In the specific cases of
French and German I think CP437 is probably sufficient.
