The setfont program is what you want if you only want to change the font.
It is in the kbd package. BTW, have you run Slackware before? I do
remember Slackware asking me to choose a font, but I can't remember a
question about fonts in Debian.
But if you want a nice way to also change the resolution and/or the
refresh rate of your text screen, take a look at the svgatextmode package.
SVGATextMode can change it to whatever your videocard and monitor support
using X-like modelines. My text screen is 116x51 at 65.8 Hz right now.
This looks very cool.
Talking about this, I have a question about the kbd package. When I ran
Slackware, I could choose from a lot of nice and/or weird fonts. I miss
those in Debian. I really liked the 'T' font. Currently I am using it, but
only because I took it out of Slackware's keytbls.tgz.
