Comment:

 OFW includes this font for more than a year now
 (http://www.openbios.org/viewvc/ofw/termemu/?root=OpenFirmware). q2e15 has
 set it as default. It's the perfect match for the XO's screen, people are
 raving over it for ever since Albert made it.

 Isn't it time to bring the Linux console up to par? Pretty please?

 Shipping the file in /lib/kbd/consolefonts would be the first step. Then
 enable it in the console by default.

 Making the kernel use it on bootup, too, would be nice, but isn't too much
 of a priority (in pretty-boot it's not seen anyway).
