I agree that it should support all the charmaps needed by the
supported translations in the installation system.

I reported the missing ISO-8859-13 charset support as a bug against
console-data, and got it added to the package in no time. I do not
know if is enough to solve the problem, but plan to test it. :)
It might be enough for the other charsets using less then 512 glyphs.

Yes. Perhaps these should use UTF-8 by default instead, and we can
then change the UTF-8 support in termwrap to use bogl-bterm? I guess
that is easier said then done, and that we need to fix some support
for the commonly used charsets as well.
Patches welcome. :)
