Created attachment 147651 [details] Patch to add PIO_VDFTFONT ioctl to vt(4) I tried loading gallant.fnt which I did not like and I was wondering how to come back to the nice default font. There does not seem to be the way to do this, so please find below a simple patch to add this functionality. It adds a new ioctl PIO_VDFFONT to the vt(4) driver. I hope I got the reference counting on the vt_font_default structure right. With this patch applied, "vidcontrol -f" restores the built-in font.
