I am also experiencing this problem on a PowerBook G4 with an M10.

Here are the fonts I'm using:

For some reason, that font gives me "Bad font file format". 
Odd.  I'm using setfont from Debian's kbd 1.14.1-4 to load it.

P.S. I haven't had time to play with the 32-roundup thing any further yet.

Hopefully I'll have some time today. I've been using consolechars -f,
I'll try with setfont.

Ok so I can't get it to die on my M9 (rv250) tipb here, I can try next
week on a albook with an M10 (rv350). Just to make sure I'm doing the
same as you, does it boot fine if you don't change the font and does it
lockup if, after it's fully booted, you do a setfont neepalt10x20.psf ?

Cheers,
Ben.
