I don't think that's an acceptable solution as it suggests it's possible 
to also zip files in D-I, which is very simply not the case.

Also, won't setupcon now not think that gzip is available and start trying 
to gzip keyboard files?

Why not just change setupcon and setfont to use gunzip? Is there any 
technical reason to prefer 'gzip -d' over 'gunzip'?

Please try and keep things clean! This is a kludge. And an ugly one at 
that.

P.S. I had not seen that you had an internal function for which.
