Chris,
That doesn't explain why if I go back to grub-legacy everything works. I
would agree with you if it were so, but everything else is the same. But
with grub-legacy being discontinued we need to have grub2 have this feature.
To the group:
In addition to thanking you all for your patience

Yes, I need grub to have an easy and consistant way to keep low resolution
in the console just as grub-legacy allows.
grub-legacy allowed is to have 640x480 in console while having the X
Desktop running at 1200 resolution at the same time.

Yes but making a large font still does not cange the resolution down to
640x480 as needed by ncurses programs like Debian's aptitude.
Why cannot GRUB put back the easy to use command to change the boot screen.
I am not looking to make large fonts in high resolution, I am trying to get
console res
A few things, you can lower the resolution of grub to make the console look
bigger I guess, or you can use grub-mkfont to generate a larger font and set
that as your grub font. From the sounds of it you're also having issue with the
tty font which I googled and found that yjou could reconfigure

Frankly this entire thread is absurd, confusing the situation immensely.
All that you need to know is that GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub
specifies the resolution for grub's menu, and that (unless
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD is set explicitly to something else) this same mode is
passed on to the kernel.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your kind and excellent answer.
Is there some way that the GRUB install script (or other) could incorporate
something that would allow 640x480 resolution?
I understand about making a larger font, but this does not allow programs
such as aptitude ncurses and other programs
