Does the kernel currently have the capability to provide a different font for a particular tty, and to transparently switch between them when the user switches consoles?
If not, how difficult would this be to add into the kernel and how would I go about it, and/or is it possible to emulate this from within userspace, perhaps by trapping console acquisition and releases, and messing around accordingly?
Oh, and lastly, what format are the font files in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts in and how would I go about making a new font? Metafont?
Thanks.
