One of my old mentors was a naval aviator. He would use the phrase "Bracket and Salvo" to describe kicking the crap out of a problem. But the term means you fire off all the ship's big guns at a variety of ranges so that anything in a given square of water gets hit. That's what happened here. Total bombardment and all direct hits. Solved! Thanks.

My monitor supports an oddball resolution of 1028x720, so that gets me near the 1:6 ratio of the physical screen. At this writing, i have not permanently made the change in GRUB, I'm setting this at each boot, but I got the idea.

That too also worked. Given that I was able to lower the resolution, I found the size 16 fonts were plenty readable.

I actually write in Greek, occasionally, coming from a classics background, and I remember specifically enabling Greek and making sure I had everything set to use unicode by default, everywhere, all the time -- with the exception of "rescue mode."
