I guess I use the corresponding syscons font file as I don't have a
declaration in rc.conf.
You should be able to use vidcontrol(1) to load new sycons fonts.
You can compile in your default syscons(4) font once you get it
working.

For reporting bugs: send-pr(1).
This isn't a bug though, as my UK keyboard works fine on 7.2-RC2
Your problem can probably be fixed by:
# vidcontrol -f 8x16 /usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp850-8x16.fnt
# kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/uk.cp850.kbd
or you could use the iso keymap, I guess.
