[Bug 750636] Re: [Natty] Encoding issue on TTY

[Andrey Bondarenko]

I've found that in Natty framebuffer console is fonts set up by initramfs.
Also in Natty initramfs-tools framebuffer becomes optional since version 0.98.8
and you have to add undocumented option FRAMEBUFFER=y to /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
to enable this behaviour.

Can you add FRAMEBUFFER=y into your /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
then run:

update-initramfs -u

Then reboot and check if console font encoding is ok. This works for me,
at least.
