+### Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD Console
+
+The Linux console uses
+[PSF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Screen_Font) fonts. As of 2025
+this format can only contain 256 or 512 glyphs.
+
+The NetBSD console is also restricted to 512 glyphs. It does not handle
+double width or combining characters.
+
+OpenBSD inherited the `wscons` from NetBSD, so similar restrictions apply.

+The glyphs in this gallant project would have to be severely reduced in
+number to fit. If someone wants to contribute a stripped down font in
+the appropriate format, I'm willing to add it to this project.

+contact with SUN hardware was in the late 80's and early 90's at
+university with the 3/60 and the SPARCstations. It was then and there
+that the gallant font and the Trinitron CRT raster were burnt in my
+retina.
