That's not its job.

I'm not sure if it will generate an error message without fonts.
Perhaps if you have just one or two it will still work? Obviously
you won't really need fonts to print pictures.

Shell scripts or aliases to the rescue.

I use the default console settings, usually. If you run either X or:

cat /proc/kcore
# Press Ctrl+C after a second or so
reset # Look at your keyboard or you won't be able to type this

or resizecons to different settings, does the garbage go away?
