I don't think anyone can just simply
     cpf <new-font> /sys/dm/fonts/vt100xxx -r
(I don't know which font vt100 uses; so I put in the xxx).
The reason is that there are some vt100-ism in the fonts.  The important
ones are those fonts for the control chars (ASCII 1 to hex 1f).  These
chars may be missing from <new-font>.

Use edfont to grab those control chars from the vt100 fonts and the rest
from your favorite font.
