Good question - the console should pick the ROM font when the screen 
resolution is smaller than 1024x768 or whatever compiled-in font the 
console driver sees fit otherwise. It should also fall back to a 
compiled-in font when it can't find the ROM font for some reason.
So - I assume you don't change your screen resolution all the time?

have fun
