Can the console font size be changed?
Doesn’t seem to be in the typical Linux place: /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/

Hello,
the path to the console fonts are ‘/lib/kbd/consolefonts’ . Not sure if you can choose a different size by using a different font since the max is 16x16 .
$ ll /lib/kbd/consolefonts

but may setfont →
$ setfont -h
Usage: setfont [write-options] [-<N>] [newfont..] [-m consolemap] [-u unicodemap]
write-options (take place before file loading):
-o <filename> Write current font to <filename>
-O <filename> Write current font and unicode map to <filename>
-om <filename> Write current consolemap to <filename>
-ou <filename> Write current unicodemap to <filename>
If no newfont and no -[o|O|om|ou|m|u] option is given,
a default font is loaded:
setfont Load font "default[.gz]"
setfont -<N> Load font "default8x<N>[.gz]"
The -<N> option selects a font from a codepage that contains three fonts:
setfont -{8|14|16} codepage.cp[.gz] Load 8x<N> font from codepage.cp
Explicitly (with -m or -u) or implicitly (in the fontfile) given mappings
will be loaded and, in the case of consolemaps, activated.
-h<N> (no space) Override font height.
-d Double size of font horizontally and vertically.
-m <fn> Load console screen map.
-u <fn> Load font unicode map.
-m none Suppress loading and activation of a screen map.
-u none Suppress loading of a unicode map.
-v Be verbose.
-C <cons> Indicate console device to be used.
-V Print version and exit.
Files are loaded from the current directory or /lib/kbd/*/.
(-d option) might help ?!
Best,
Erik
