Looking at the (unicode) font names installed by kbd, there are some -12 and -19, for which I am not ready to look at how wide they are (my 7.6 builds do not yet have psftools installed), and fonts claiming to be: 8x6,7,8,11,14,16 9x14,16 12x22. I will also hazard a guess that debian-derived distros might have other sizes (they use their own console-tools). ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
