14 My screen is 27" and 1920 x 1080, so I can't imagine what vga=normal would
15 look like :-) Too big, anyway.

17 I've set consolefont="ter-124n" to give me a lovely VT screen. It does have a
18 diagonal bar through the zero, though, as without it the zero and capital-O
19 would be identical. At least at 12 x 24 I don't confuse 0 and 8.
