Increase font size in console

Yeah, they aren’t available for Alma/Rocky/RHEL9. I just downloaded the FC34 rpm for it. (In this case, I didn’t build anything, just went to rpmfind, grabbed the rpm–not the srpm–for terminus console fonts, did rpm -ivh on the rpm and it installed without a problem. I then changed /etc/vconsole.conf. I replaced what was there with
FONT=ter-v24n
You can use ter-32n or whatever size you like that will be in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts

Actually, once the font is installed, you can change it on the fly with setfont ter-v24n or whatever font you want to use. To get to persist though, you will have to add it to vconsole.conf
