Do you really look at semigraphics with koi8-r font?
It is broken in last (9) pixel, it is standard VGA
hardware braindamage. Why do you think russians use cp866 fonts
with screenmap? Please fix this place to use cp866 with koi8-r->cp866
screenmap.

What exactly you mean by "breaks shell mode", please
specify code flow in maximal detailed level.

There must be font_cp866_8x16 instead.

This change must be reverted back.
Jordan, please, apply my fix.
