Hi,
Where would this sysctl needed to be documented for the OP to
find it?
There's many things to consider these days, so hard to find a single
place I guess...
(and IMHO currently no severe issue, since these days, if defaults don't
match perfectly, users get too big fonts instead of unreadable small fonts)
IMO vt(4) would have been a good place.
vt(4) is no consumer of the 'screen.font' loader tunable. In case vt(4)
uses efifb for output, resolution is unchangeable and
vidfont(1)/kbdmap(1) refers to a different set of fonts by default as
loader does. Of course, there's filesystem boundaries to consider, but
I don't know the reason why /usr/share/vt/fonts isn't simply a link to
/boot/fonts/ - both sets are almost identical in size.
Some time ago, I proposed a generic boot/loader.conf file, which I
created as a starting point to describe the
BIOS/UEFI|loader|console(vt(4)\sc(4)) relations:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256343
This is only a proposal, and reflects just my own needs/confusion of the
past, but probably help other too, getting an overview and finding the
corresponding docs/man pages.
It is quiet large, but I felt it's necessary to also mention KMS/drm.
It's boot/loader description biased, but also contains Serial console
and Video console specific hints.
