From our previous discussion, it wasn't clear to me why you cannot use

        # CONFIGURATION FILE FOR SETUPCON

        # Consult the console-setup(5) manual page.

        ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"

        #CHARMAP="UTF-8"
        CHARMAP="ISO-8859-2"

        CODESET="Lat2"
        FONTFACE="Fixed"
        FONTSIZE="8x16"

        VIDEOMODE=

        # The following is an example how to use a braille font
        # FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf'

but it occurred to me that there is a way to have two fonts loaded.
I've started investigating this.
