The solution looks simple -- just change the default "latarcyrheb-sun16" to some old good 256-gliph font. It is an obvious thing, especially in fact that actually the "latin+cyrillic+hebrew+arabic" combination seems never used in a real life of console. What seems to be used is just "ascii + local native language" (ie. ascii+latin1, ascii+cyrillic etc.), and such combinations do not exceed 256-glyph limit.

This implies you'll never want to/need to see characters outside of
your local language. I'm not sure that's a valid assumption.

Certainly it is non-valid for any GUI. But for console TUI users it is valid.

Surely it could be fine if I can see both all the glyphs and all the colors. But because it is impossible, I chose to see colors, rather than all the glyphs. I need colors every day every hour, and I can ignore some boxes in some occasional pages I visited by lynx/elinks ...
