Hey folks,
So, I program a lot and it has made me a bit nutty about my fonts. I'm big fan of Inconsolata. Trouble is, it seems the console can't handle ttf? Or more accurately, the console font must come from /usr/shared/kbd/consolefonts.
My question is this: is there a work-around or am I doomed?
Thanks!

Or is my assumption wrong to begin with?

Have you tried loading it with setfont?

Generally you can't use true type fonts (or open type fonts) in the console, though you can use them in a terminal emulator running under X. A similar thread on this here may interest you.

Yup, yields:
"Bad input file size"
Which I assume means .otf is incompatible
