JFYI: the sc(4) driver supports UTF-8 since 8.0-RELEASE. A set of kernel options is required: options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VESA options TEKEN_XTERM options TEKEN_UTF8 And optionally for /boot/device.hints: hint.sc.0.flags="0x180" # switch to graphics mode at boot time hint.sc.0.vesa_mode="0x1F0" # preferred framebuffer video mode code And the port sysutils/jfbterm to render fonts.
