Bug#508862: console-setup: There should be a way to load a second font

[Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.28
Severity: normal

Hello,

With the kbd package it is possible to load several fonts so as to take
benefit of the 512 possible different glyphs.  For instance, blind
people use this to load a braille font.  This is not possible with
console-setup.
