According to the newcons wiki and vt(4), you should be able to set the size=
with a
sysctl, e.g:
kern.vt.fb.default_mode=3D"1024x768"
And you should be able to use vidcontrol(1) to query the available modes, b=

I've never tried that yet.

To set e.g. the =E2=80=9Cgallant=E2=80=9D font, put
allscreens_flags=3D"-f gallant"
in /etc/rc.conf. This is passed to vidcontrol(1).
