To be honest, I don't remember. I know that when I first started out with Linux
I found some text file somewhere that allowed me to change the console fonts,
but now in response to your question I've done a little bit of looking around
and don't see what I remember seeing before, so it may be that things have
changed since then.
Since I don't remember how to do it, I'm CCing this to the Debian list so maybe
someone else can provide an answer.
