  • This font is suitable for framebuffer consoles on devices with a
    320x240 screen, to get a reasonable number of characters (53x24) that
    are still at a readable size.

    The font is derived from the existing 6x11 font, but gets 3 extra
    lines without sacrificing readability. Also I redesigned a some glyhps
    so they are more distinct and better fill the available space.

  • The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is
    why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are
    available. This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not
    supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.

  • Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
    9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
    support code selection logic").
    Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
    its own library directory lib/fonts/.
    This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
    CONFIG_VT=y again.
