The  characters   in  koi8-r,  that   are  overwritten  by   koi8-u  are
pseudo-graphics, which are not used by any text. They _may_ be used by a
program like Midnight Commander, but koi8-r  disposes of some of some of
the pseudo-graphics itself. The  dialog-based programs (like sysinstall)
look very funny with koi8-r (sysinstall, for example).

According  to the  submitter  (Olexander Kunytsa)  OpenBSD accepted  the
single  koi8-8x*.fnt... We'd  just  have to  install  symlinks to  avoid
breaking the current setups, that use koi8-r.
