Yes, a single character from a given font will most likely take up more
room on your screen if resolution is changed from 1024x768 to 800x600.
You could be out of luck and get a large unused border around the
output, or even not get any output at all though. LCD screens tend to
get a bit "unfocused" if run at non-native resolution. Personally I've
not had much luck messing with console resolution, but it is worth a
shot if you make sure you have an easy way to revert to the working
state you have now.
