Oops.. I think I missed that one. I'm not sure why you are not getting
shaping, but it is certainly something with the way the fonts load and
'consoletools'. It seems to work fine for me (Debian) and M.Yousif
(Slackware).. so, not sure where it's going wrong for you.

Can you give more details? Have you tried to manually load things? Fire up the
Perl interpreter and enter what's in the conf file and see what kind of
warning/errors you may get. <shrug>, I'm just throwing punches in the dark
here ;)
