Dear Maintainer, On the present machine (Lenovo Thinkpad x220), most fonts are corrupted in some fashion when used in fbterm, some moreso than others (this is with a fresh install). In the default font for instance: 'k' always has a line immediately to the right of it, y always has a single white pixel in the lower right corner, and most letters with a curve have the curve filled in with blocky splotches. Using 'fbterm -n <foo>' I have tried several other fonts, all of which have their own characteristic distortions. I have also tested this with a fresh install of stable, and it is likewise present. I have also heard from several individuals with similar problems in unstable, one of which was on an asus eeepc 1001px, hopefully they will chime in below.
