Comment # 5 on bug 1225526 from Felix Miata

https://forums.opensuse.org/t/how-do-i-change-the-boot-terminal-font-size/175306
is the progenitor of this report. The target was a laptop with 4K screen.

It was apparent in the thread that the installation failed to include any
discoverable large font to substitute for the 9x16 font in /etc/vconsole.conf.
Terminus-bitmap isn't necessarily required, just something on the installed
system suitable for HiDPI. Placing whatever that would turn out to be in
/etc/vconsole.conf with a comment why it's there would be a bonus if something
more automatic isn't doable.

With too big fonts it's not usually any material problem to perform some
activity to make them smaller. It's quite the opposite with too small fonts.
Too small fonts can make it painful or impossible to perform activity required
to make them bigger. There really ought to be something in the installer that
can take account of whether the target is a high DPI or not. Maybe (via
separate report, as distinctly different issue) ask to have posed some simple
questions on the first screen following license, e.g.:

Are you eagle-eyed?

Is it often hard for you to see what's on a computer screen?

Is the target screen high density (often termed high resolution or 4K)?

Is the target screen a small tablet?
