which is the default consolefont for en_US?

Hi,

I changed the locale in /etc/rc.conf from en_US to en_US.utf8, but now the consolefont is changed to LatArCyrHeb-16.
I would like to use the default for en_US though, since it seems to be the only font which handles graphics in make menuconfig or mc correct.

Can anyone tell me which is the default consolefont for the framebuffer? I want the default for en_US back

thanks,
baze

:?:

you're supposed to leave CONSOLEFONT blank for the default US layout.

I left it empty, which loads the default consolefont for locale en_US, but when I use en_US.utf8 LatArCyrHeb-16 is loaded. (with consolefont being empty)

if you use utf8, the consoloe font must be set to the one that appears, else problems might occur.
That's the reaon for using it.
