[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#1040696: kbd: setfont doesn't set a default font

[Sven Grewe]

Package: kbd
Version: 2.5.1-1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: svengrewe at posteo.de

Dear Maintainer,

If I type setfont into the console, I expect it to use the default font as
the manual says. It gives an error instead:

$ LANG=CC setfont
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console.
