Bug Description

When not in console and running "cmatrix" with the "-l" one gets this error:

    Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

But I would really like to be able to run it with the "-l" option in order to get that cool matrix style font without getting that error. So I think that something should be changed in cmatrix to allow this, such as converting the font to an X font and then making cmatrix use this font when it is run using the "-l" option outside of the console.
