Sorry for late comment but I would like to suggest mlterm-fb as - probably - easiest solution for Your case (if I understood problem correctly, of course). mlterm running in framebuffer console is capable to use wide range of standard X fonts[1] without hassle. If You want to convert fonts to wsfont You may take a look at some additional resources. In addition to already mentioned there is also my small tool[2], created for my own work for bitmap terminus fonts (see [3] for gallery) - it isn't useful for converting vectors, but may provide a hints about your own methods of mapping from UTF codes or Adobe names to particular code pages (wide range of definitions is provided by original terminus package, for my case I made only one, for cp437). 1 - https://www.mail-archive.com/netbsd-users@netbsd.org/msg10136.html 2 - https://github.com/aniou/bdf2wsfont 3 - http://smutek.pl/netbsd/wsfont/terminus/ 4 - http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/ -- Piotr 'aniou' Meyer
