Hi people,

I suspect that this might be slightly off topic, but to my knowledge  
there are no "real" console fonts in any freemint distribution, and  
it's often difficult to verify the legal status of fonts found on the  
net.

I´ve converted some fonts from the Linux sources. It´s just a quick  
hack, but it seems to work with NVDI5 at least. I´ve included my ugly  
sources in case someone needs to correct something or tweak the fonts.  
There are a couple of different sizes which work well on the console.  
Personally I think the 7pt one works really well in Thing and in QeD.
