What was I thinking. Console without kmscon cannot support a complete
font. It’s just that the default changed from supporting Cyrillic to
supporting progress bars:

gnu: Use unifont by default in TTYs.
It has even better language support than LatGrkCyr-8x16 and can show
fancy progress bars.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-console-font): Use unifont.
See:

IMHO this new default is sensible. This sub-issue is not a bug. You
should use either kmscon or change the default.
