Console-setup was already installed. The problem arose exactly 
simultaneously with my installing the firmware-linux 
metapackage. 'dpkg -r'ing the firmware-linux-free and -nonfree 
packages fixed the problem.

Thank you for your suggestion:

> dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

After using the above, and rebooting, whatever changes the above 
made did not appear to "take" i.e. the teeny tiny console font 
always reappeared. It was this tenacity that inspired my 
reckless, but successful, use of 'dpkg -r.'

Thank you so much, though, for responding to my plea for help!
