>Description:

Program "vidcontrol" sometimes can't determine, that ".fnt" file
contains font with the same size as first parametr.

>How-To-Repeat:

shell$ cd /usr/share/syscons/fonts
shell$ ls
cp866-8x14.fnt  cp866-8x16.fnt  cp866-8x8.fnt   cp866b-8x16.fnt cp866c-8x16.fnt
shell$ vidcontrol -f 8x16 cp866-8x8.fnt
bad font file
shell$ vidcontrol -f 8x16 cp866-8x14.fnt
<CAN'T READ ANYTHING ON SYSTEM CONSOLE>

>Fix:

Maybe, format of font file is too "raw" and we can't check font size.
We should fix a manual page then :)

With the current raw font files there really is not reliable way 
of fixing this. Maybe we should change the fontfileformat...
