The font is derived from the existing 6x11 font, but gets 3 extra
lines without sacrificing readability. Also I redesigned a some glyhps
so they are more distinct and better fill the available space.

I think the patch is fine, but there hasn't been any comments or acks
for this. I'm a bit reluctant to add this much data to the kernel if
there are no users (except you) for this.

So I'd like to hear at least one "yeah, I could maybe use that font"
from someone =).
