Lots of negativity here, so I just wanted to chime in - really love the new console font! Crisp and easily readable letters, big enough to be readable, with a reasonable number of letters per line (${COLUMNS}) en lines per screen (${LINES}). It does mean pretty big characters on big screens when in console mode, but on big screens I want to run X anyway, so it's all good. What I understand of the algorithm to pick the font size makes a lot of sense to me.
Thank you Frederic for all the effort you put into this font and making it happen on the console and in X through the fonts/spleen port!
