Not sure if this will answer your question, but you can adjust which font is
used by the kernel framebuffer either in the kernel:
Device Drivers -->
Graphics Support -->
Console Display Driver Support -->
[] Select compiled-in fonts
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.
