In console mode, check your fonts used under SVGATextMode. I have the
following font entries in /etc/TextConfig (I think they're default):
Option "LoadFont"
FontProg "/usr/bin/consolechars -f"
FontPath "/usr/share/consolefonts"
FontSelect "lat1u-16" 8x16 9x16 8x15 9x15
FontSelect "lat1u-14" 8x14 9x14 8x13 9x13
FontSelect "lat1u-12" 8x12 9x12 8x11 9x11
FontSelect "lat1u-10" 8x10 9x10 8x9 9x9
FontSelect "lat1u-08" 8x8 9x8 8x7 9x7
Also check your internationalization settings:
$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
...in my case.
You may have to run locale-gen and munge some files to get this properly
configured.
