Yes as mentioned above this works but I have HUGE characters.
For the boot menu, or after?
If after, what gfxchip do you have, maybe something other than NVidia, AMD/ATI
or Intel? Use 'lspci | grep VGA' or 'inxi -c0 -G' to report here.
Are the "HUGE characters" the same size as you find on the vttys after booting?
If so, there are a couple of things you could try if you'd rather have smaller
text characters.
To test, hit the "e" key while your Grub selection is up, then append either any
of the following before proceeding to boot:
vga=788
vga=791
vga=794
video=1024x768
video=1152x864
video=1280x1024
video=1440x900
video=1600x900
video=1680x1050
video=1920x1080
video=1920x1200
Others are possible, as above is not an exhaustive list.
Grub will report vga= is deprecated, but nevertheless the kernel will at least
briefly use smaller characters than those used in video BIOS 80x25 mode.
Video= tells the kernel to use the specified mode for the KMS framebuffers. Pick
a mode that matches your display's native resolution to get the smallest
possible text.
If one of the above produce a result you like, you can reconfigure Grub to
include the appendage permanently via /etc/default/grub and regenerating Grub's
boot menu.
