Anyone knows how to trace this?

I'm learning the way font works by doing this BTW.

  • What do you mean by console? The text one (no X), or an X terminal?

It uses PSF, the fonts are traditonally located under /usr/share/consolefonts.

There is no way to tell "which font is the current one", in the sense that once a font has been loaded, the file itself could be modified or removed. You can, however, figure out which font is loaded by default by looking at your distribution-specific configuration files; or, you could use setfont -o <file> to dump the loaded font to a file.
