Strange behaviour:
# lat0-{08,10,12,14,16} works always (both on VGA and FB console)
# ter-v16n works on VGA console, but when kernel switches to FB console during 
boot up the font changes back to the default one.
# ter-v20n works only on FB console, that means fonts with height greater than 
16 pixels don't work on VGA console at all
