VT not showing cyrillic characters in text mode

Hello everyone.

Cannot figure out if vt console driver supports non-ansi characters when 
started in textmode. The font in sys/dev/vt/vt_font_default.c seems to 
include cyrillic glyphs, but either it is not being used in textmode or 
something else is broken since only '?' are displayed instead of proper 
symbols. The LANG/LC_ALL doesn't affect anything. The problem occurs on 
11.0-RELEASE and 10.3-RELEASE.
Textmode is required for me since vt performance in graphical mode is 
very poor on HyperV and textmode looks like the only option.

(sorry about the previous messy messages in this mailing list, didnt 
expect problems with html emails ;)
