Something I should have raised before ..
Because some programs (e.g. XF86) can grunge the fonts
in some video cards (e.g. Cirrus GD-5428) - we need a way
for a non-root user to reload those on return to text mode -
possibly many times.
I have this working with pcvt - but there is no way I can make
it work with wscon.
So we need a 'loadfont' equivalent please. 'wsfontload' is not
suitable.
