[PLUG] Need IBM PC line draw chars ....

[Alice Corbin]

Hmmm, I've never twiddled with the fonts in console mode myself, but
doing a man -k on console comes up with:

consolechars         (8)  - load EGA/VGA console screen font, screen-font map, and/or application-charset map

which looks like it might be what you want.

And forget what I said earlier about xlsfonts and xfd - the X fonts are in
a different bucket entirely, and xfd, well it won't run under not-X.
(Which means that I have no idea how you might preview the fonts.)
