Changing Console Fonts In Debian Squeeze
Debian 6.0, aka “Squeeze”, uses Grub2, which in turn uses a different method of handling console fonts from the older Grub Legacy method.
The default is a rather small font which may be difficult to read. To change this:
apt-get install console-setup
Now edit /etc/default/console-setup as required (the file is well commented). Finally:
/etc/init.d/console-setup restart
Phew! Eyestrain gone!
