Using LDXE and Ubuntu, I can log into a virtual console via Ctrl+Alt+F1.
The text is far too small. How do I change the screen resolution to get a larger font?

It depends on your distribution.
Arch Linux
In Arch Linux, once you have selected the font from /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/ that you would like to set, you need to add it to your /etc/rc.conf like so:
CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16"and then add the consolefont hook to your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems consolefont"and regenerate the image:
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26Ubuntu/Debian
In Ubuntu/Debian, select your font from /usr/share/consolefonts/ and then edit /etc/default/console-setup and add an entry like:
CODESET="Lat15"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="16"and to make it permanent:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setupFedora
The available fonts are listed in /lib/kbd/consolefonts/.
Specify the desired font in /etc/sysconfig/i18n file by modifying the SYSCONF entry.
SYSFONT="lat2-16"References
Fonts are configured in system settings, not in /etc.
Btw. your problem might actually be a miss-configured DPI. Just force the DPI to 96.
