This sounds like you have the default kernel font, which is either 8x16 pixels (IIRC) or a 2x upscaled version of the same. The kernel chooses the font that gets you the closest to an 80x24 display, so you likely see the upscaled version. I imagine before your upgrade, you had the 8x16 font, which fits a lot (but tiny) text on the screen. The solution is to compile a kernel with a different font, or to load one dynamically. The Spleen fonts look great and are available up to 16x32 -- not scaled up, but pixel-perfect. The Go font is also nice and available in large sizes. -- Benny
