Nice, but it looks like on little-endian machines a bswap() is reqd.:

```
    157			g = (uint16_t *)WSFONT_GLYPH(c, font);
    158			for (i = 0; i < font->fontheight - 2; i++) {
    159				l = *g;		<--- HERE
    160				CHAR_LINE32(0x8000);
    161			}
```

to use the Gallant (and Bold 16x32) glyph data.

BTW, there's a similar project on Linux (I have it working on NetBSD with
some hackish patches.)

Or, x11/tinyx-wscons:

(can't set kbd rate with xset(1), though.)
