console font config

I just noticed that the new rc.conf has a setting for console font. This is something I was hoping for.

So how exactly do you go about declaring the font? Ive only ever chosen fonts from a drop down menu

I tried "Verdana" as the setting, and it failed, so Im wondering what everyone else uses.

Also, is there support for Anti Aliasing in the Console? Thats the one thing I really want.

Re: console font config

hmm...while reading the bugtracker I saw that this is used for non-us fonts, for internationalization.

So, I cant just change my console font?

Oh well, another time when I should do my own research.
