Or maybe we can let find_font() and get_default_font() kmalloc() a copy of built-in font data, then keep track of refcount for both user and built-in fonts, but that will waste a few K of memory for each built-in font we use... > > > I think for vc_date->vc_font we might need a multi-step approach: > > > - first add a new helper function which sets the font for a vc using > > > an uapi console_font struct (and probably hard-coded assumes cnt == > > > 256. > > > > But user fonts may have a charcount different to 256...
