Description of problem:
Line 31 of /sbin/setsysfont reads as follows:
    if [ ! -f /lib/kbd/consoletrans/$SYSONTACM_to_uni.trans ]; then

It should read as follows:
    if [ ! -f /lib/kbd/consoletrans/$SYSFONTACM_to_uni.trans ]; then

This forces SYSFONTACM to be set to `echo $SYSFONTACM | sed "s|iso0|8859-|g"`
regardless of whether or not *iso0*_to_uni.trans exists.

Line 31 is the only reference to SYSONTACM, there are 6 other references to
SYSFONTACM; looks like a typo to me.
