Thanks for you kindly help, it's works !!!

Use 'vidcontrol -f <fontname>' test display effect.
and then add 
     allscreens_flags="-f gallant"
to file  /etc/rc.conf

add follow four lines in  /boot/loader.conf
  kern.vty=vt
  hw.vga.textmode=1
  i915kms_load="YES"
  kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1280x800"

Seems these are only two kind of font in /usr/share/vt/fonts , can i add another font under this path and where to find them and how to do this ?


thanks.
