Problem Description: When I use setfont to change font to 512 chars font, than
blinking cursor disappers.

Steps to reproduce: 
1) setfont LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu.gz
2) press enter (sometimes twice or more)
3) blinking cursor disappers
4) start typing (no cursor)
5) press "backspace" => cursor is back
A regression.
