I noticed the same thing. It either has always happened for me, or it
started when I started adding the framebuffer stuff. I worked around it by
using the default console font. Do this by commenting out the CONSOLEFONT
line in rc.conf.
I suspect that it has something to do with the framebuffer console drivers.
