vtfontd takes the specified virtual terminal(s) (VTs) into "process
mode", obtaining notification through a signal of all VT switches that
involve the controlled VTs.  It then saves the console font in effect
while switching away from a particular VT, and restores it while
switching back to that VT.

This is most useful when running X Windows on machines where graphics
mode operation can corrupt the console font pages.  Yes, it is a
software solution to a hardware problem.  So what?  An affordable
hardware solution does not exist.  However, vtfontd is more than that;
in effect, it "virtualizes" the console font, making it local to each
VT, rather than shared by all the VTs on the console.
