I have this:

CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="Lat15"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="16x32"
VIDEOMODE=vga		# that's being ignored now with nouveau driver, or maybe outdated

However it diint help with the very highly resoluted framebuffer - still microscopic. Although it works well for fbterm -s.

I think this Eizo monitor, although not huge, has a lot pixels. I have bought it because of that, to have a very sharp clear picture.

It offers a kind of ncurses-selector (?) but only very few fonts for console.


I have read somewhere that we could put things like this into that file:

FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf'

which should be a braille font. But i never tried.
