Fight font uglyfication (console)

The default font does not look too good, specially, on the ultra crappy and small LCD that the Presario 1200 has.
So, edit the file "/etc/default/console-setup", and look for the line that says:

FONTFACE="Fixed"
FONTSIZE="16"

Comment that out, and take a run testing other fonts, the fonts are located on the directory "/usr/share/consolefonts/".
After editing the file, you'll have to do a:

sudo /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh reload

To activate the changes.

Right now, my font of choice is:

FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="14"

This font uses the codeset "Uni3", so in order to get it working, you'll have to edit the CODESET variable too.

Actually, the command to change the console font it is:

sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup stop
sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup start
