patch suggestion

If I'm reading it right, vconsole-setup uses setfont(8) to initialize tty1 and then calls font_copy_to_all_vcs() to copy the font config of tty1 to tty2/tty3/etc.

However, setfont can do more than just set the font, it can also install character maps with PIO_SCRNMAP, PIO_UNISCRNMAP and PIO_UNIMAP.  When vconsole-setup initializes tty2/tty3/etc. it should copy these tables along with the font, or more conservatively, run setfont on each virtual terminal.  Or maybe setfont could operate on a list of ttys.

Patch looks good to me, applied. I didn't test whether it really works though, as I don't really use any fonts anymore...
