It's been a while, but the "bug" seems to remain actual thus far.

If I got it right, cmatrix just calls `setfont` on exit, with no arguments so 
setfont tries to locate the default system font and apply it to the console.
According to setfont's manpage, it needs a file in /usr/share/consolefonts/ 
named default.ext or default8xSIZE.ext, where ext must be an approptiate 
extension for a font file (and SIZE seems to represent font's height, when it 
passed to setfont as the -N option's argument).

I found that there is no file named 'default' in the mentioned folder on my 
system, so I looked at /etc/default/console-setup and, keeping it's content in 
mind, created a symlink (as root, of course):

$ su
# ln -sv /usr/share/consolefonts/Lat15-Fixed16.psf.gz 
/usr/share/consolefonts/default.psf.gz

After it'd been done, setfont stopped reporting "Cannot find default font" and 
they lived happily ever after.
Hope it helps )
