I can't quite remember the specifics, but it's something to do with the fact
that GDOS fonts can be in Motorola or Intel format (there's a flag in the font
header somewhere to say which). AMCGDOS seems to support fonts in both formats,
but both GDOS and G+PLUS only support Intel format fonts.

The Gemini font used in the console window is probably in Motorola format.

You may be able to fix this with some kind of utility, or assign the same
font id that the console font uses to a different font.
