>Environment:
netBSD 7.1 NetBSD 7.1 (GENERIC.201703111743Z) amd64
>Description:
So, i've found this issue : there is visibly no way to change the getty console font with wsconsctl on NetBSD 7.1 amd64 arch. Knowing that wsconsctl is a tool made for that (among other)

This is not really ergonomic to use the basic font, especially on a virtual machine or something like that (on all smalls displays).
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try to change the font with something like that :
wsfontload -N myfont  font.file
wsconsctl -dw font=myfont

(fonts are located in /usr/share/wscons/fonts)
>Fix:
I've found nothing to fixe it except to use NetBSD 7.1 i386. The tool is pefectly working on this arch.
