The ioctls changed in kernel 2.5.69, causing setfont (from kbd) to only change the font on the current tty. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set console font in /etc/rc.conf 2. Run /etc/init.d/consolefont restart 3. Switch to another tty and type some chars from that font Actual Results: It won't work. Expected Results: It should work. Small patch: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/patches/2003-September/000336.html kbd-1.06 (x86)
Please update to 1.08.
1.08 doesn't fix anything. It sets font only on current tty.

Sorry, sorda missed the meat of this. It hangs over here if I patch and add --tty /dev/tty?
Bah, dont worry, saw my mistake.
Added to CVS, thanks.
