VGA 8x8 font found in lib/fonts/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_FONT_8x8:

• prompt: VGA 8x8 font
• type: bool
• depends on: ( CONFIG_FONTS ) && ( CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE || CONFIG_DRM_PANIC ) && (! CONFIG_SPARC && ! CONFIG_FONTS )
• defined in lib/fonts/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.11–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).

Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a lot more readable.

Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N here is safe.
