Re: console-tools config w. framebuffers

Hi Debian!!
Because of a quirk (vc's and displaying graphical characters to make boxes ;-) ) I got the console-tools package to show graphical characters. 

I put this in /etc/console-tools/config:

SCREEN_FONT=default8x16.psf.gz
APP_CHARSET_MAP=cp437_to_iso01.trans

Works great on vc#1, the first one.
Now the config file warns that with framebuffers this only is good for vc #1. OK. So I tried this to get my characters to show up on all vc's: 

SCREEN_FONT=default8x16.psf.gz
SCREEN_FONT_vc2=default8x16.psf.gz
SCREEN_FONT_vc3=default8x16.psf.gz
SCREEN_FONT_vc4=default8x16.psf.gz
SCREEN_FONT_vc5=default8x16.psf.gz
SCREEN_FONT_vc6=default8x16.psf.gz
#
APP_CHARSET_MAP=cp437_to_iso01.trans
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc2=cp437_to_iso01.trans
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc3=cp437_to_iso01.trans
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc4=cp437_to_iso01.trans
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc5=cp437_to_iso01.trans
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc6=cp437_to_iso01.trans

which, sad to say, does NOT work. Can anybody tell me what I do wrong?
Because you got caught in the "do not modify the console-screen.sh script" game. 
Once the new one got used everything works as advertised.
Doesn't anybody do this?
