I updated all terminals for PC but didn't ofconsole. This is only because I don't know how it behaves precisely. According the standard, the default font seems to be implementation-dependent. There is an attribute "character-set", but I don't know if this is used. So, in reality, what kind of font is used in Open Firmware? Does it only contain US-ASCII or is it like the VGA font? For now, ofconsole does not map any Unicode character to another character, but does this work well? Okuji
