You objected to that solution as soon as it was suggested. Please try again with a better font.

You are listing very minor problems (and non-problems, such as when you said that "you have to configure faces"). By the way, if you don't want 256 colors and want to use only 8 colors as you did before, just don't set TERM=fbterm, or set TERM=linux.
