Well,  let  me rephrase  it.  Are  ALL  of the  pseudo-graphics  symbols
available  in ASCII  also  available  in KOI8-R  (even  if at  different
positions)?

If they  are, you are  right. If some of  them are replaced  by Cyrillic
characters,  you  are  wrong,  because  then  there  is  no  qualitative
difference between koi8-u and koi8-r -- only quantitative and koi8-u can
be used for the same intents and purposes as koi8-r.

In  any  case,  I'd  suggest  we  make a  symlink  koi8  ->  koi8-u  for
compatibility with OpenBSD if for no other reasons.

=> I think, cons*koi would be a good choice, would not it?

=No. Existen termnal names would not be renamed, it breaks users setup.

I meant, adding an alias:

+++ /etc/termcap
 # KOI8-R FreeBSD console with ACS support
-cons25r|pc3r|ibmpc3r|cons25-koi8-r:\
+cons25r|cons25u|pc3r|pc3u|ibmpc3r|cons25-koi8-r|cons25-koi8-u|cons25-koi8:\

=You need to modify rc.conf manually too in any case.

Yes,  to have  the fonts  loaded.  I thought,  that's all  it takes  (or
including  the fonts  in kernel,  which is  what I  do). Having  to edit
/etc/ttys (and merge the changes every time) is annoying :( I don't see,
how this can  be overcome easily, however.

May be, teach  the termcap to look for: $TERM-$CHARSET  prior to looking
for  $TERM itself  in the  database  (with charset  being obtained  from
LANG)? What will this break?
