As a side note, for those searching for the right console font size, the following might be interresting: I had the problem with to small or to large console fonts in a FreeBSD VirtualBox image on a laptop, with no font size I liked available for
vt(4) in the default system installation.
The FreeBSD/Newcons
wiki article describes in the "Font Support" paragraph how to convert fonts suitable for the
vt(4) terminal. In the article the terminus font was used as example, based on that font I have converted it into a font size I felt comfortable with for the laptop, placed it in
/usr/share/vt/fonts, set in
/etc/rc.conf:
allscreens_flags="-f Terminus-10x20"
.
Screenshot of the VM's console with the Terminus font:
There are some
.fnt fonts in
ports/x11-fonts, but any font in
.fnt format or converted into from
BDF and
HEX format should work as
vt(4) console font.
Here are two other fonts I tested, but for my taste they don't have a font size I liked, also they look indeed fancy but they are not so clean as the terminus font.
x11-font/spleen:
x11-fonts/profont:
