It's really simple. It's the same size monitor. The "normal" characters are high resolution 24-bit colour graphics mode with 8*16 pixel glyphs, giving 240 columns by 67 rows. The "huge" characters are VGA text mode at 80 columns by 25 rows, giving glyphs that are in effect more than 24*32 pixels.
At what point exactly within either of those videos does 80 by 25 appear? All I saw anywhere appeared to be in the vicinity of 240 by 67.
Is there something simpler than 'echo $ROWS $COLUMNS' or 'tput lines';'tput cols' to show the row and column count on a vtty one is using? Fbset leaves that info out of its report.
