Currently both PIO_FONT and PIO_FONTX are supposed to set the font only for
the virtual console they've been called for (with exception on EGA/VGA where
the font change is global for the card). This will probably change in 2.3.X as
I'd like to remove all the compatibility crap and leave only the KDFONTOP
ioctl.
You can use KDFONTOP to copy the font to all other FB consoles you want.
Have a nice fortnight
