That doesn't sound good.  Guess I didn't know what I was recommending! 
Sorry.

This "Esc ( K" thing might be the trick:

<quote from setfont man page>
       `trivial' mapping is assumed.  In  any  case  the  mapping
       table  just  loaded  is activated by outputting the string
       Esc ( K.  Giving a -m none argument inhibits  the  loading
       and  activation  of a mapping table.  The previous mapping
       table can be saved to a file using the  -om  file  option.
       These options of setfont render mapscrn(8) obsolete.

I hope that is more helpful than what I came up with last time.
