Re: genfb(4) vs. screen types and font changes/uses (was: NetBSD vs. VirtualBox)

What I really hate currently is how the font size changes when the
genfb(4) driver attaches.  That's horrific looking and a bad UX!  It
should continue to use the same font as the bootloader was using, and
that the kernel used up until that point.


Have only one font in the kernel (on amd64, currently, there are 2 built-in),
then there won't be any font switching. You can always load them later.
