Font issues and other errors

[guy-amun-ra]

Hi,
I face 2 problems:

The first one: every time I run bicon, I get a very small font in the virtual console I'm working on (tty3 to 5).
I can solve it by running the following command line and choosing again my favourite font:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup

The second one: every time I run bicon as local user I get (on the virtual console):

...
Keymap 126: Permission denied
Keymap 127: Permission denied
KDSKBENT: Operation not permitted: could not deallocate keymap 128

Is there anyway to avoid both of the errors?

P.S. I compiled the project as local user, and installed it as sudo (sudo make install)

I found that if I set
export TERM=xterm-256color
I get no error, even though I'm in a virtual console (tty) and not in a terminal windows.

This is code I wrote over 15 years ago. I cannot help with any errors or anything now. I have not kept up to date with changes in Linux console, etc.

And I definitely don't know anything about how Debian does things.
