"Console font size is normally set by the VGA= parameter on the kernel line: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.3"
So I went to that url and saw that there was a vga statement in LILO but I assumed it would apply to Grub as well. Went to my menu.lst file and there is a vga statement. It is vga=0x346. I changed that to 0x31a and rebooted. No change in font sizes while booting.
Did you remember to run mkinitrd? Changing the setting actually accomplished nothing,
Nothing where, how?
as that is a part of the initrd. mkinitrd will use this setting to change the setting of the resolution for your screen.
What are you talking about? On many years of running many distros, I've never yet seen a need to rebuild an initrd just to change the font size on framebuffer consoles (though I normally put splash=off on cmdline and haven't tried any new modesetting kernels yet). -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
