Bug Description

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:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/console-data

juser@dhcp186:~/vga2usb/src$ lsb_release -rd

Indeed apt-get install console-data will make the program work.
