            Bug ID: 280692
           Summary: FreeBSD stable/14 boot loader: "failed to add font:
                    /boot/fonts/11x22.fnt"
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: d8zNeCFG@aon.at

Scenario:
- FreeBSD stable/14
- Upgraded from 644d81447118 to ae5a33717273 (plus minor patches for each)
- Rebooting

Result:
- Very briefly, before showing the FreeBSD boot menu, many messages scroll by,
of the form "failed to add font: /boot/font/11x22.fnt", with all kinds of
different sizes shown on many consecutive lines.
- This could only be observed clearly by taking a 25fps video of a system
running under VirtualBox and single-stepping through the frames.
- On all machines (also physical ones) I installed this new release, one can
very briefly see messages previously unseen before the boot menu appears; most
likely they are always about not finding these fonts, but it is too fast to be
sure.
- There are no such font files in /boot/font.
- Apart from these messages there do not seem to be adverse effects.

Expected result:
- The boot should be nice and tidy like before.
