Sorry, didn't read the thread so just hoping to say something useful:
slackware 12.1 installes by default with "vt.default_utf8=0" as a kernel param which may be involved here. I saw that picture that someone posted and to me that was nothing new -- my console has always looked that way if I set my locale to a UTF8 locale but do not change the console font.
"LANG=C menuconfig" works for me when I can't, won't or just don't start X with it's terminals with UTF8 fonts...
Please just ignore if not a useful reply.
Rene.
