Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.23

Toshiba Tecra M1
Pentium M 1.6 512MB RAM, ICH4-M chipset, Trident CyberBlade XP4 video card

Software Environment: Slackware-current (kbd-1.12, glibs 2.5)

Problem Description:
The national characters like "ą", "ł" or "ż" are not displayed corectlly
under console (no matter vesa framebuffer, or standard vga). Instead of them
"?" on strange background is displayed. Problem begins on 2.6.24-rc1 and
continues on 2.6.24-rc2. On 2.6.23 everything is OK.

Steps to reproduce:
Run 2.6.24-rcX kernel and set national console font by setfont.

Another post-2.6.23 regression.  Possible culprits cc'ed?
