I tried it again and can confirm that it doesn't say anything with root.

However, attempting this in a tty with and without root gave me the 
following error message:

setfont: ERROR setfont.c:406 kfont_load_font: Cannot find default font

Kind regards,

Given the $ and the error message, I assume this is a permission problem
on your side. Does it not work if you run it as a user that has access
to modify the console (eg. root)?

Dear Maintainer,

If I type setfont into the console, I expect it to use the default font as
the manual says. It gives an error instead:

$ LANG=CC setfont
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console.
