The console font is determined by the fonts which are compiled into the 
kernel. By default, there is a font called BOLD8x16 and a pixel-doubled 
version.

What I do is to create a new kernel config with "option FONT_SPLEEN16x32", 
build a kernel and run that.

There is also a way to select a different font (including a different 
size) at runtime (using wsfontload, I believe) but I have not played with 
that.
