The difference between a psfu and a psf font, is that psfu also
contains a unicode -> glyph mapping which is a necessity for UTF-8
consoles.

The psf fonts don't have a unicode map, and by default are only
usefull for the charset they were designed for. but it's possible to
load an external unicode map with "setfont -u".
