wsfontload! Yes, I've played with that, I think. It only works on the
terminal you're on, but it's better than nothing.
I'm going to try building a kernel for my laptop following your advice
and see if that helps.
Much obliged!

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.
