Re: [PATCH v5 RESEND] Fonts: Adding all Terminus fronts from 12 to 32 in bold, and normal versions

Hello Helge,

Because people have different screen densities. On those 4k 10 inch screens, people would probably go for bolder versions regardless of how much text they want to fit in.

Too many fonts are already baked into the kernel, and I would've advocated for eventually adding a function for PSFs to be more easily added at config, or boot time.

Terminus is a good font for the kernel for the reason that it covers a very wide range of font sizes.

On the sidenote, the previously incorporated Terminus font patch seemingly has a wrong FONTDATAMAX value
