# ls /usr/share/consolefonts/
1.2. Select favorite font files for testing:
# consolechars -f /usr/share/consolefonts/lat9w-16.psf.gz
# consolechars -f /usr/share/consolefonts/lat2-16.psf.gz
1.3. Save the console default font configuration:
# vi /etc/console-tools/config
Set the appropriate font file as the default. If you choose lat2-16.psf.gz, you can set SCREEN_FONT to:
SCREEN_FONT=lat2-16
2. Set the console font through the console-setup service.
