Subject: [PATCH] Please revert console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping
This reverts commit 1c55f187 (console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping): Ingo
was assuming that reverting to 1:1 mapping for chars >= 128 was not
useful, but it happens to be: due to the limitations of the Linux
console, when a blind user wants to read BIG5 on it, he has no other
way than loading a font without SFM and let the 1:1 mapping permit the
screen reader to get the BIG5 encoding.

This would make absolutely no sense with Unicode in mind,
but do this for ASCII characters since a font may lack
