I'm not sure about the font, but you can change the size (and thus the look) by changing your lilo.conf file. Just add
vga=ask and eventually change that to some number, is use 4.

consolechars -f <font-file> is what I think would work for me, but I don't use it, so that may not be quite right. On my old Slack system there was a real easy program that did it for me on startup, but I forget what it was.

Thanks... problem I'm running into is that if I put vga=extended in my lilo.conf, the text seems a little crowded. But anything larger than 3 is huge on my screen. Anything less, still crowded. Any ideas?
