Hello hackers!
Here is link to the patch[1] for vidcontrol that makes it to know if it
run w/ or w/o vt(4) and if vt(4) is present, then:
1. screen map feature disabled (vt(4) use Unicode, so screen map not
needed).
2. enable to load fornt from /usr/share/vt/fonts/ dir. PLease put
"gallant" font[2] to /usr/share/vt/fonts/.
Looks like it works fine, but maybe I forgot something :)
So please test it in your own environment.
Big thanks to Ed for preparing that font file!

Hi,
I applied this patch on a 10.0-STABLE r264390 with a Radeon Mobility X300 (M22)
5460, and DRM2.
I could load an home made terminus 16x32 font (my eyes are too old to work with
a 8x16 font on a 1920x1200 17" screen), by
- looping on each ttyvN in a rc.local script
or
- adding allscreens_flags="-f terminus-u32" to rc.conf (for /etc/rc.d/syscons
consumption)
Cool!
Are you like to share that font?
Off course.
In fact I generated 12x24, 14x28 and 16x32 fonts from terminus-font-4.38 by
using the tools/tools/vt/fontcvt utility.
I will send you these fonts offlist (because the FreeBSD lists do not like
attachments).
I just discovered than scrolling back in console mode works ONLY on ttyv0.
Huh, it's surprising me. Before your mail I think we have problem with
scrollback on vty0, but not on others. :)
Looks like I have to concentrate and fix them all at once.
I confirm that scrollback works on ttyv0, but not on others ttyv when a font is
loaded.
What I have to do to get scrolling on every ttyvN ?
The only way to get the system working in normal VGA mode (640x480) (not loading
the drm2 and radeon kms modules by loader.conf) is by configuring the BIOS to
not do display expansion - which leads to the same ridiculously small font..
And of course, kbdmux keeps being mandatory to be able to load a keymap.
Yeah, I still remember. :)
This could be noted in the newly born vt(4) man page ..
TIA

Many thanks Claude!

Hello Claude!
Looks like nobody care about this patch, only you did test for it :)
So I commit it to HEAD, if you need it to be MFCed, I will do it a week
later.
Many thanks for your help!!!

Hello !
I (sort of) solved the scroll problem by patching
sys/dev/vt/font/vt_font_default.c
to compile my 16x32 font into the kernel.
Clearly some more work is needed to make the modified vidcontrol a finished
utility and to have the proper rc.conf knob to load a custom font at boot.
And it must also be possible to generate a kernel with a custom font, without
having to patch the source.
I also found that
tools/tools/vt/mkkfont/mkkfont.c
does not put a comma after the final "}" of .vf_map, so one must apply the
attached patch.
Keep the work going !
