when installing ubuntu-server on a new laptop the default font of the installer and the BusyBox console is extremely small. is there a way to make it bigger while the system is running from a boot .iso?
there is a setfont command but i have not found out how to use it (yet?).
update: i got a little further but the font remains unchanged. what i did:
# udpkg -i /cdrom/pool/main/c/console-setup/console-setup-linux-fonts-udeb_*_all.deb
# # maybe 'udpkg -c ...'?
# cd /usr/share/consolefonts
# gunzip Lat38-VGA16.psf.gz # or some other font
# setfont Lat38-VGA16.psf

busybox loadfont worked in desktop Xubuntu and to my understanding should do in Ubuntu servers too. I tested with another font but the result should be the same with Lat38-VGA16.
