Syslinux - Jul 2006 - syslinux issue - vga font affected after splash

My syslinux.cfg:
=========FONT russian.psf
DISPLAY help.msg
F1 help.msg
F2 boot.msg
...
=========File help.msg contents info on russian. File boot.msg contents some
info and
splash stuff.
When booted I see info from help.msg, then I press F2 and some splash
picture appears.
But if I press F1 after that I can't read any, cause vga font affected or
not loaded.
(There is ASCII 25 symbol at the top of help.msg )
I think .psf file have to be rereaded when returns from graphics to text
mode but it not.

That is odd.  The font is stashed away and should be reloaded.

What version of syslinux have you tried?

I can't reproduce this problem.  It works as expected for me -- the psf 
font is used both before, during, and after the graphics mode.
