Yes, I thought I fixed it a few weeks back, but .... :-(
I would like to fix that problem, but since I don't have such a machine where 
this bug happens I will need your help. If you could send me your bootlog I 
can give it another try.

I believe, that you used the old STI code. Please try again the code I 
checked into CVS yesteray.
But the main problem why you just see some characters is, that the HP STI rom 
code doesn't includes all characters - and the new code will not fix this 
yet. But my long term goal is to switch the STI code to use the 
framebuffer-fonts from the linux-tree (which really seems possible).

Yes of course. It doesn't uses the font tables of STI ROM.
