Subject: bug#36014: [PATCH] Attempt to use console-fonts not provided by kbd if they are installed
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 14:27:15 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi maintainers,

I looked hard at a nicer way to provide a flag to start kbd pointing to a
directory or file. There is a flag to point to a file for a font which
could be nice. However setfont also prioritizes the current directory over
the kbd directory. The following patch attempts to chdir to a directory
where more console fonts may be installed.

- John
