In my transition from a Dell XPS 13 L322X (2013 vintage) to a Dell XPS
13 9380 (2019 vintage), console fonts at bootup are incredibly small.
Is there a way of controlling that?
For a German keyboard I have this in /etc/vconsole.conf :
------------
KEYMAP="de"
FONT="ter-924n"
------------
AFAIKS with settings in this file I changed fonts both for the
boot-up messages and the tty's after boot.

Thank you; this is very helpful. Now, when I use ctrl-alt-F2 to login
through console, the screen font is very readable.
However, on bootup, when I want to access the kernel menu, or view the
scrolling messages as the system and processes are started, I assume
that I have to alter grub configurations, yes?
In case you already solved it all with stan's suggestion, I wouldn't
go any further - I tend to no not trying to change a running system
.. ;)
If not: It's not clear to me: Are the console fonts still too small
after your change in /etc/vconsole.conf - assuming you rebooted your
computer - or do you see no boot messages at all, when the system
starts?
Just in case they're still to small, here's my
/etc/default/grub
------------------------
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.luks.uuid=luks-6ec3f3ab-c5d1-4e4a-b263-c375daf64c11
radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true
------------------------
Please note the line
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
I'd guess with these settings together with the previously mentioned
vconsole.conf the first lines of the boot messages are still small,
but after a second or two after booting the system the fonts on the
lines following are becoming larger.
Also
info -f grub2 -n 'Simple configuration'
for the
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
line.

Good luck!
