Contrary to the advice in faq 7, it is possible to load a new font if you have console on a drm device, but there are restrictions on font size that must be followed.
This builds raw variants of some of the Terminus fonts and adds a readme showing how to use them. I've updated to a newer version of Terminus while there (I could split into two commits if preferred but it's simple enough that it doesn't seem necessary). Thanks to fcambus@ for clues on this!
