Comment (by J5):

 Setting SYSFONT=sun12x22 (the font we use in our boot parameters) in
 /etc/sysconfig/i18n works without interfering with the locale.  This fixes
 the font issue but leaves us without a localized font on the terminal.
 Sugar and gtk+ still picks up the locale and are not effected by this
 change.

 If a user really cares they can use unicode_start [fontname] to choose a
 localized font but there are none which have a readable size for our
 screen.
