... So am I - but I see no reason why it shouldn't work ... the

Hmmm, no idea what could cause this ... you have terminus-font 
installed do you? Can you verify whether you have the file 
/usr/share/consolefonts/ter-v12n.psf.gz? Which version of baselayout and 
terminus do you use?

sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5 (/etc/init.d/consolefont)

equery b /usr/share/consolefonts/ter-v12n.psf.gz
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/consolefonts/ter-v12n.psf.gz in *... ]
media-fonts/terminus-font-4.20 (/usr/share/consolefonts/ter-v12n.psf.gz)

Couldn't think of anything else - sorry :-/
