Since RedHat Linux 8, "latarcyrherb-sun16" is the default console

ascii+latin+cyrillic+hebrew+arabic in one a font should satisfy all
the needs of console users.
But "latarcyrheb-sun16" is so-called 512-glyphs font. Unfortunately,
there is a restriction in hardware, which decreases the amount of
available console colors if console font has more than 256 glyphs.
Isn't Kernel Mode Setting supposed to fix this?
Perhaps yes. But it is still in progress, hence it could be done
completely somewhere in the future, not for now.
Besides that, people can use some hardware which do not support KMS
(either too old, or too specific); people can use too old systems, etc.
Hence it is better to resolve this issue despite of the KMS feature.
