Different character colors if extended font is used

[AsstZD]

Binary package hint: console-setup

If an extended (marked with "." instead of "#") console font is chosen, some letters different from basic latin are brighter than latin ones.

WTF do you want?

1. Select the font with console-setup
2. Swith to a frigging terminal
3. Produce some text
4. Watch the frigging rainbow

The reading is hard, yes?

Tried with Vietnamese and Arabic; this does not appear to still be an issue.

Still, we do expect some more clarity in bug reports -- people here are often volunteers, and those who go try to confirm and triage bugs may not know all the intricacies of some the the software like console-setup, or know that it can be dpkg-reconfigured.

I used the UTF-8 charset for all my tests, but I don't expect it to really make a difference.

Tested with 16.04 today, still present.
