Description:

Saving the previous font is broken since 2.6.0. The tty just shows garbage.
It works to save a font with 2.5.1 and load it with 2.6.0.

Steps to reproduce:
# setfont default8x16
# # save font
# setfont -O /tmp/myfont
# # load font
# setfont /tmp/myfont
setfont: ERROR setfont.c:141 try_loadfont: font position 32 is nonblank
setfont: ERROR setfont.c:153 try_loadfont: background will look funny
This task depends upon
