On comparing the CONSOLE_FONT="lat9w-16.psfu" entry in /etc/sysconfig/console
to the contents of /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts it's entirely clear which to
choose in order to get a legibly large enough console font, while the sheer
number of entries there has to make one wonder why you would suggest yet more
just to find one legibly large enough. What does 9w-16 mean? Where's the doc
that addresses this subject? Is this font choice in any way related to
