I knew about thet warning. But I thought it was harmless, as none of the font
code really depends on console support...

... but I missed that drivers/video/console is not used if CONFIG_VT=y.
Sorry for that.

Does this (whitespace-damaged copy-and-paste) help?

It shouldn't make a difference if nothing inside drivers/video/console
is enabled,
as all objects in drivers/video/console/Makefile are conditional.

BTW, my plan was to move the font code to lib/font, but I haven't done that yet.
