Two questions:
Thanks for your reply.
1. Does this still happen if your kernel command line has
vga=normal? (I'm assuming that you're using a framebuffer), and if you
don't use a special font?
Yes it does still happen with vga=normal. I don't honestly know if I'm
using a framebuffer or not - this is plain vanilla Etch, defaults as
installed. (I have to confess that despite having been using Linux for
about 12 years, I'm not entirely sure what a frambuffer is nor why I
should want one - things have generally worked to my satisfaction and
thus I have never investigated.)
2. What happens if you blindly type "reset" or setterm -reset?
Both these get the prompt/cursor back to the top of the screen, but
still in the same gigantic font.
Cheers
M
