This reverts commit 1c55f187 (console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping):  Ingo
was assuming that reverting to 1:1 mapping for chars >= 128 was not
useful, but it happens to be: due to the limitations of the Linux
console, when a blind user wants to read BIG5 on it, he has no other
way than loading a font without SFM and let the 1:1 mapping permit the
screen reader to get the BIG5 encoding.
