The ``-f'' option takes 2 arguments, the size *and* the filename:
# vidcontrol -f 8x8 /usr/share/syscons/fonts/name_of_font_file
To make this permanent add:
font8x8="iso-8x8"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x16="iso-thin-8x16"
to /etc/rc.conf, change the font names to suit your locale - they are
the names of the files in /usr/share/syscons/fonts (without the
``.fnt'').
