Bug#472806: console-setup: consoles loose their font when switching to X and back

[Christoph Anton Mitterer <Christoph.Anton.Mitterer@physik.uni-muenchen.de>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.21
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi I've set up console-setup on my laptop with the configuration below.
As soon as /etc/init.d/console-setup start/restart is executed the  
Terminus font is loaded correctly, but when I switch to X and then  
back to a console each of them uses the standard kernel font.

This is a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E8410 with an nvidia GeForce 8400M  
G GPU. I'm using the propreitary nvidia driver for X.

Any ideas?

Best wishes,
Chris.
