In NetBSD 7.0 you get a graphical console (thanks to the new DRM support)
The graphical console will have the resolution of your display and use
the only existing console font in the kernel.

Building a custom kernel with additional larger console fonts helps.

Starting the kernel without DRM helps, but you probably lose X11.
