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.
