As you keep conveniently forgetting X can already render those fonts to bitmaps suitable for such a screen so the problem doesn't exist except in your mind. > limited number of glyphs allowed in console fonts, the fact 4:3 15" > VGA screens are not manufactured anymore, etc Untrue but rather irrelevant really.
