For those who would like to benefit from this fix, please:
1. For fonts in early boot stage:
Add "fbcon=font:TER16x32" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in
/etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" and reboot
2. For fonts after boot (not related to this fix, but you might
need this as well):

I test it on Ubuntu 19.04, in booting font is OK, but tty still very
small

You can notice that the font is larger after the patch.

This is the old patch that I used to compile the test kernel in #4:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dkGBkd2R85/
I think I have found the cause, the compiled-in option was not set.
If you run "make menuconfig" against a clean source to enable TER16x32
(Library routines >>
Indeed, i booted the stock kernel with my new console-setup settings...
and i get readable ttys still.
And the config for your kernel did not appear to list 16x32 there
either.
Can you please share the source for the kernel you have built?
Also I wonder where the TER 16x32 font is coming from,
Hi Dimitri,
While trying to verify this on other kernels, I found that you can even
enable this TER 16x32 font without this patch.
Just change what you mentioned in comment#7
FONTFACE="TER"
FONTSIZE="16x32"
Run "update-initramfs -u" and reboot (or one can use "dpkg-reconfigure
console-setup"
Thanks for sharing the tips, it's a bit hard to find these steps on the
Internet, perhaps because these is a new feature.
Will try to bring this to other kernels.

I am in ecstasy! this is so good! OMG! My eyes! I love this!
After installing your kernel, one needs to enable the font in console-
setup too:
$ cat /etc/default/console-setup | grep '^FONT'
FONTFACE="TER"
FONTSIZE="16x32"
Then i did update-initramfs, and rebooted, and omg how nice my tty is
BTW, the way how I check this is to lookup FONTS in the config file:
$ grep FONT /boot/config-5.0.0.9-generic
CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
System was booted with kernel parameter fbcon=font:TER16x32

Found a UHQ device for the test, it seems that even with
CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32=y
and set it to y for all the arches in annotations, this is still not
working.
Will keep checking what's missing here.

Test kernel for Disco with this config enabled:

I will just patch this for D, for T/X/B/C, it looks like the
FONT_TER16x32 support (ac8b6f14) can be cherry-picked as well, please
let me know if we want this for older releases.

Oops, mis-understand this.
Patch available in Disco, but the config needs to be enabled.
