In this case, it is the nouveau.ko module which takes over the
graphics¹. Note that this module is necessary if you want to use the
nouveau X driver².
You can blacklist the module or use nouveau.modeset=0 kernel parameter,
leaving you with the nv (or nvidia) driver for X. Another possibility
is to use a bigger font. Install the console-setup and kbd packages and
use "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" to choose your preferred font.
