[Bug 299308] [NEW] can't find console font file

[Carl Karsten]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fbtv

$ fbtv
can't find console font file
unable to open server "unix/:7100"
no font available

man... " Default  is  to  look  for  lat1-16.psf  in
/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts and /usr/share/consolefonts. "

I think the easy answer is depend on a package that includes the font it:
