Not really. Here is how you enable larger fonts. Configure your kernel. Go into the Graphics support menu. This the the menu that has the DRI/Framebuffer and backlight options. You will see a "Console display driver support" option. Select it and you will have a new menu. You will see the option "Select compiled-in fonts". Enable that and select the font you want. Most likely it will be the Sun 12x22 font. Build your kernel. Their might be one more setup to do. Some distros like to load a console font at boot up. Depending on the distro if that is the case you will have to disable it. > In addition, are the error messages in the following dmesg log anything > to be concerned about?
