Then should Unicode be default for the console? I have not printed out a 
complete ASCII table on a UTF-8-console without Unicode fonts (anyone 
knowing a tool for this?), but at a first glance output seemed to be 
quite usefull without ISO8859-1 encoding.

I'm not shure if this is a Debian issue. Why should Debian have  a 
different default encoding?
