'8' character displays incorrectly on console
Hi,
I have an interesting issue on my recent install of Debian. There are a
few quirks, but the one that is getting a bit annoying is when the
console trys to display an '8'. About half the time, it will display
fine, and look like and 8. About the other half, it will look like a
lowercase 'o' (the top half appears to be missing). As I'm typing this,
the '8' character is the only one being displayed incorrecly. [a-zA-Z]
and all numbers except 8 are displaying correctly. On occasion, I've
even noticed that the '4' character displays in a funky manner.
For example:
user@machine: ping 192.168.0.1
will display as:
user@machine: ping 192.16o.0.1
I'm pretty much clueless as to what this could be. Everything displays
fine in X, but not the console. When it displays correctly in one
console, it works in all consoles. When it displays incorrecly in one
console, it displays incorrectly in all. It will also magically go back
and forth between displaying characters correctly and incorrectly. I
have found no specific pattern that recreates this issue. This happens
on both the 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 kernel.
