You can usually run vidfont(1) as a normal user directly from the console 
and get a nice TUI menu to choose from the installed fonts in your system 
to start using in your current session.

Note that this will only apply to your current console session, and won't
persist across reboots. To make them persistent, add something like this 
to `/etc/rc.conf`:

    allscreens_flags="-f /usr/share/vt/fonts/ter-u22b.fnt"

(where `ter-u22b.fnt` is the one I chose for my 22in monitor)

You can find all your available console font files in this directory:

    /usr/share/vt/fonts/

I personally like the ones provided by the `terminus-font` package.

Hope that helps,
