Okay, I'll work on it.

My logic was: these are implied questions, so they are full sentences.
In other words, I am thinking of the document as a sort of dialogue:
Q. The font is broken after I switch to X and back to the console.
A. Actually, the boot-time font replaces the font of console-setup.
In most cases, this means that non-ASCII symbols are replaced by
some other funny symbols. [...]
If these are only titles, I would have expected most of them to be
sentence fragments:
1.1. Broken fonts after switching from X back to the console
Sometimes switching from X back to the console appears to leave fonts
garbled. Actually, the boot-time font replaces the font set up by
console-setup. In most cases, this means that non-ASCII symbols are
replaced [...]
But I do not feel strongly about this at all.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting calling for translations, or copy-editing every
time the FAQ changes. I just suspect that the subscribers there are
much better at tweaking documentation for clarity than I am, and I am
not very confident in the clarity of my own writing.
On the other hand, their time is worth a lot, so it might not be worth
using it on a long non Debian-specific document like this.

Thanks for the comments.
