Older versions of backstreet ruby have bug. Open file
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
Find out setsysfont and disable

Sample lines -  must be commented out our deleted
 if [ "`/sbin/consoletype`" = "vt" -a -x /sbin/setsysfont ]; then

   echo -n "Setting default font ($SYSFONT): "
   /sbin/setsysfont
   if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
      success
   else
      failure
   fi
   echo ; echo
fi

backstreet ruby is compatible with consolechars
