This is a really strange problem, but I don't know why, since a week a go or so, I am seeing strange font being used when typing or reading utf8 characters like "ñ, á, é, í..."

The most strange think, is that the font is properly shown until I login on a console, I mean, if I type utf8 chars on "login" field, they are shown properly, but as soon as I login, the problem appears.

My /etc/conf.d/consolefont:
# /etc/conf.d/consolefont

# CONSOLEFONT specifies the default font that you'd like Linux to use on the
# console. You can find a good selection of fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts;
# you shouldn't specify the trailing ".psf.gz", just the font name below.
# To use the default console font, comment out the CONSOLEFONT setting below.
# This setting is used by the /etc/init.d/consolefont script (NOTE: if you do
# not want to use it, run "rc-update del consolefont" as root).

#CONSOLEFONT="default8x16"
CONSOLEFONT="ter-v14f"

# CONSOLETRANSLATION is the charset map file to use. Leave commented to use
# the default one. Have a look in /usr/share/consoletrans for a selection of
# map files you can use.

CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-15_to_uni"

I use terminus-font, but it hasn't change since I see the problem :-(

Thanks a lot
