I beg to differ. Before I recommended it, I tried it on my own
machine, and it *has* changed the resolution of the Linux console,
from standard VGA text mode - 80×25 characters - to the full native
res of my LCD, 1024×768, which translates to 128 characters across by
48 lines down. Same font @ higher res = more characters.

I was not attempting to describe how to change the font; I was
describing how to change the resolution, and the advice I gave was
both factual and accurate.
