What platform are you on? What video card are you using?

Font loading is currently broken on some platforms (like the alpha)
because there is no kernel support for /dev/wsfont. On other platforms,
like the i386, you have to make the device node for /dev/wsfont. 

% cd /dev ; MAKEDEV wscons

Then again, you said you weren't seeing any error messages, and I
think you are saying pcvt is also not working for you. If the
problem isn't reported by wsfontload then I can be safely ignored.
