Did you configure console-setup to use a 8-pixel font?

It doesn't have to. Console-setup is the program that configures the
console font and the console keyboard layout. Console-tools is
obsoleted and bugs of this package are rarely fixed. If you want only
one package to configure the font then install kbd instead of
console-tools.
