Print the current font used by pango to the log, so it's easier to spot an issue when setting the font name in kmscon.conf Signed-off-by: Jocelyn Falempe <[email protected]>
If the font name provided is not found, the default might be a non monospace font, which is rendered weirdly in kmscon. so add a monospace fallback, so pango will use a monospace font if the specified font is not found. Signed-off-by: Jocelyn Falempe <[email protected]>

If font-name is set to a non-existent font, pango will use a default font that is not monospace, and the result is barely readable.
Always add ,monospace, at the end of the user provided string, to make pango use a monospace font if the specified one is not found.
Also print the current font in the log, so it's easier to debug such problem.
