Description mail 2016-03-13 06:31:20 UTC 
I'm using framebuffer terminal without X Window System, and I bumped into PSF fonts limitations in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c.
Can it be here still reason exists? It's can become a disaster with new high resolution displays.
Especially for myopic people. This limitations blocks even fonts with 24x40 char size (80x27 terminal with FullHD
displays).

I know there are not many peoples use VT with PSF fonts nowadays. But improving of PSF fonts support also can help for
that expert users, who configure systems after installing base system only. Apart from after problems with X Window
System users interact with VT.
