I am not sure I understand your question. I think most archs use framebuffer so the font is one of the fonts the kernel has in its sources. As far as I could check they all are CP437 encoded which gives pretty good coverage of ISO-8859-1. I can only suppose that in text mode the default font of the video card is also CP437 even on non-i386 archs.
