The "/" key for example (there may be others that don't display properly)
works
but the character which appears is not "/".

I run setupcon (under Debian Sid) and it reads a config file
in /etc/defaults/setupcon.conf. It has a line in it which allows you to load a
font
directly. I load cp850-8x16 and have the "/" problem. It does display line
characters correctly however. Maybe I need to load a translate table ??

With my setup running FP under RXVT it is 99.9% functional. The only wierd
problem I've encountered is "internal GDB error 0" when stepping through code
but I
don't **think** thats an X problem.
