Comment 5 for bug 133072

Some news: I noticed that i only have to use an additional "sudo setupcon" if i choose a specific codeset within "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup":

If i choose 'Combined - Latin; Slavic Cyrillic; Hebrew; basic Arabic' and restart the system, the german umlauts are not properly shown in a tty. After doing a 'sudo setupcon' they do work. (On my system some of the umlauts are still grey colored and not white as all of the other characters... But i can't reproduce this color issue in a vmware...)

If i choose 'Latin1 and Latin5' and restart the system, everything works perfectly. No additional 'sudo setupcon' needed (no color issue...).
