Console-tools has several bugs that are not going to be fixed, it doesn't have upstream maintainer. On the other hand Kbd is actively maintained (both in Debian and by the upstream). Thats why the future versions of Debian are going to use Kbd instead of console-tools. But ofcourse if console-tools works for you, then you don't have to switch to Kbd. > Or is there an equivalent command in console-tools? The equivalent command is 'showcfont' but it doesn't work on my machine (outdated version of Debian unstable). > > Does the look of 'toilet -f future hello' restore if you use the command > > 'setupcon'? > > No, it doesn't. > After issuing the 'setupcon' command (as root), the look stays the same > (broken lines). I suppose that only the horizontal lines are broken (the vertical are OK)? Can you use the command 'consolechars -f FONTNAME' in order to make sure that the other fonts (both in console-setup and console-data) have the same problem. In particular can you see whether the fonts that you used before console-setup are also with broken lines?
