Change the tty fonts

Forum rules
We don't support installations in VirtualBox, VMWare, qemu or others. We ignore posts about WINE, PlayOnLinux, Steam and Skype. We don't support btrfs, lvm, UEFI, side-by-side installations with GPT or dualboot with anything newer than Windows XP.
Google your problem first. Check the Wiki. Read the existing threads. It's okay to "hijack" an existing thread, yes! If your problem is not yet covered, open a new thread. To get the quickest possible help, mention the exact release codename in your post (uname -a is a good idea, too). Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

akts, we like answering questions, but we also encourage people to learn how to answer their own questions. In this case, a simple ixquick (or google) search for "change tty font Debian" would have given you this result: https://ixquick.com/do/search?keyword=c ... ont+debian and the second hit in that search would have answered your question. Most questions have already been asked by someone, somewhere, and a little searching can save you lots of time and aggravation.

Please read this wiki topic: Useful ways to ask a question, and at least try searching for an answer, and try to solve your own problem before you ask for help. Then if you still need to ask, please tell us exactly what you tried (so we can see that you made an effort and don't need to duplicate what you already did). And I don't mean "I tried google and got nuthin'"

Someone who has used Linux as long as you have should be able to answer most of your questions without help. Your #! posts go back to 2010, and your intro there says you started using Linux in 2008. You should not need help with changing the console font, or how to use disk partitioning tools, or how to find out what wireless driver you're using.

dkeg already warned you once. Don't be a help vampire.
