I use vga=0x303 and that looks exactly like Knoppix's fonts on my
terminals. However, I think this also depends on the kernel
configuration options related to the console fonts. Here is what I have:

$ grep -i font /boot/config-$(uname -r)
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y

(I use a self-compiled kernel, therefore I do not know how the stock
 Debian kernels are set up in that respect.)
