Add a compile-in option for Terminus 10x18 bitmap console font to improve readability on modern laptop displays. On modern 13-16 inch laptop displays with high pixel density, common scaled resolutions like 1280x800 and 1440x900 are widely used. At these resolutions, VGA 8x16 is too small and difficult to read for extended periods, while Terminus 16x32 is too large, providing only 25-28 rows. The existing 10x18 font has poor readability. Terminus 10x18 provides improved readability with its clean, fixed-width design while maintaining practical row counts (44-50 rows). A comfortable and readable built-in font for early boot messages, kernel panics or whenever userspace is unavailable. The font was converted from standard Terminus ter-i18b.psf using psftools and formatted to match kernel font conventions. This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most users won't notice a thing.

Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
|
|
your frame buffer console usually use.
|

|
Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the

kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
|
|
the questions about foreign fonts.
|
|

If unsure, say N (the default choices are safe).

This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one

provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).

Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
|

lot more readable.

Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N

here is safe.
