Two issues. One minor, one major.

Hi Horst,

>is it possible to change the font on the console?

 Yes - use 'vidcontrol -f <font>', where <font> is one of the
standard FreeBSD syscons fonts.

 I think you might have to switch vty's and back to get it to
redraw the existing screen in the new font.

 The font size can only be set at boot-time from the loader
with the hw.syscons.fsize variable. Supported sizes (heights,
really) are 8, 14 and 16, with 16 the default.

Peter.
