What are the default fonts in the kernel. 8x16, and 16x32? > > and I get the Spleen 12x24 font without any screen clearing even > when genfb hands off to intelfb.

Yes I tried that, but was not able to change the font for some reason. I must be missing something. I will look at that again. But still as soon as it gets to the genfb device, the terminal becomes 80x24 and the font is big. But I started to like that font. Maybe I will compile the font into the kernel, in the coming days. > > That Spleen 12x24 font is only built-in in the -HEAD kernel, but, > you can add any other font you want fairly easily: > > https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2015/01/19/msg015669.html > > -RVP > Riza
