Using "vidfont -r" to restore the console font to that defined
in /etc/rc.conf fails. The font remains unchanged and the message
Which font size? ``"<font-name-from-rc.conf>"''
is displayed.
>How-To-Repeat:
vidfont -r
>Fix:
Problem is that the regular expression used to grab the name from the
font field in rc.conf takes all non-spaces after the '=', meaning any
enclosing quotation marks are included. While the regular expression
could be modified, it might be better to simply strip out quotes from
the matched text (then if quotes are ever optional for values in
rc.conf, this will still work without complicating the regex).
This is the patch:
