Font loading on the console isn't implemented, yet. While there
is no real technical obstacle to this the problem is that
syscons(4) etc. assumes a fixed font width of 8 pixels while
we really want 12 on sparc64 so we can e.g. honour the default
text screen resolution set in OFW. Dealing with this properly
means changing syscons(4), its ioctls, etc. accordingly and
that's outside the scope of what im currently trying to get
to work. Sorry.
