[BusyBox] Weird characters when using loadfont?

Hi,

I have built a system using uClibc and Busybox (both latest releases). 
I have a newt-based installer running on this.  In order to support
multiple languages, uClibc and Newt have UTF-8 support.  Then, using
Busybox's loadfont, I load the LatArCyrHeb-sun16.psfu font (from the
latest kbd package).

After I set the font, I get some strange output when doing ls.  All
non-executable files show up with their normal characters.  However,
executable files, directories and symlinks show up in the strangest
characters.  For example, I can't see a /bin/ directory, but I can do ls
/bin/ just fine.  And, tab completion still works.

Now that I'm thinking about it....  Ofcourse it's due to the
BB_FEATURE_LS_COLOR.  I guess it can't deal with anything other than
ASCII characters.  I'll disable this on my machine, so just consider
this a bugreport ;-)

Kind regards,

Mark Wormgoor
