Ah - Yes, both machines have ATI video cards (Rage IIc in one and 
Rage 128 Pro in the other).  Is there any way to convince NetBSD to
replace the font in font slot 0?  I wouldn't mind having ALL my screens
use a 8x8 font.

Any idea what aspect of the design of wscons prevents it from coping with
the Rage?  Fonts used to work fine with PCVT.
