I'm not really sure what you're looking for, but I suspect newcons is orthogonal to it. Newcons won't change what is displayed, only how it is done; the primary user-facing advantages are Unicode support and better use of graphics modes. There are also some (very important) lower level infrastructural changes. -Ed
