VT console font

[Daniel van Vugt]

No upgrades, always fresh installs for me.

Yes I noticed there's some automatic high-DPI detection in plymouth and then 
gnome-shell matches it. It works on some laptops but not others, certainly not 
my 4K desktop. I would advocate changing the DPI threshold for that but at the 
same time don't recall it ever working for console fonts -- they're always too 
small AFAICS.
