1 Not sure if this will answer your question, but you can adjust which font is used by the kernel framebuffer either in the kernel:
2 Device Drivers -->
3 Graphics Support -->
4 Console Display Driver Support -->
5 [] Select compiled-in fonts
6
7 or by adding fbcon=font<name> as a boot option.

32 Wasn't able to find any reference here (/usr/src/linux/Documentation) to anything other than configuring the kernel for framebuffer alternatives.

34 Either way, it seems that my HDTV monitor is not very happy with the framebuffer - but works great with X.
