In the file /usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/dev/ite_cc.c you'll find a comment that
says /* -1 for bold. */
Remove the -1 from the line below it, recompile, and your problem goes
away.  I'm confused as to why this is here to begin with.  If it's truly an
8 pixel font, bold will still fit.  Granted, it will merge into the black
background, but life's a beach.
Oh, to be paranoid, you should probably comment out the line and copy it,
removing the -1 from the copy, in case you want to undo this later.
