wsfont font pool (or a wscons device if the device driver supports this). The
font gets assigned a name in this process which it can be referred to by later
for use on a display screen. The font is loaded from the specified
fontfile, or from standard input if
fontfile is not provided.
The options are:

utility will be
executed in system startup by the /etc/rc.d/wscons
script, controlled by the /etc/wscons.conf
configuration file.

wsfontload -N orator -e ibm
/usr/share/wscons/fonts/orator.816
wsconsctl -dw

There is no way to determine which fonts have been loaded.
