The Linux console, on its own, doesn't actually support it. You have to
use a framebuffer and something like bogl and one of its fonts. But
that way lies lots and lots of madness... you still won't properly
support things like RTL text, etc. So if you really want full locale
support, use X.
Note: anaconda no longer uses bogl and hasn't for quite a while now. If
you want anything that can't be displayed by latarcyrheb-sun16, then use
X.
