Not sure if this will answer your question, but you can adjust which font is used by the kernel framebuffer either in the kernel: |
| 18 |
Device Drivers --> |
| 19 |
Graphics Support --> |
| 20 |
Console Display Driver Support --> |
| 21 |
[] Select compiled-in fonts |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
or by adding fbcon=font<name> as a boot option. |

Thanks for the reply. |

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

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