Ack ... that worked for me.   Back in business.

Note that this commit adds a hard build dependency on vtfontcvt(8)
but that tool is depends on the WITH_VT build option.  I suspect
that stand/fonts should be likewise dependent on WITH_VT

Thanks for pointing this out. We actually need to build vtfontcvt uncondit
ionally, in addition to font files, we also need it to generate C code for bu
ilt in font (used when there are no /boot/fonts).

That seems to assume that fonts are needed at all - I found this bug on
a Cloud instance that uses a serial console and has no real or simulated
graphical display "hardware".
