The abilities and settings to change things are different on BIOS (sc or vt) and UEFI (vt) If I recall, these were examples of me working with it on the older scons(?) terminal though I cared more about trying to get increased resolution rather than decreased as the terminal was being stretched to a 24" 1920x1200 screen as an 80x25 or so character grid. GPU in use was NVIDIA GTX-570 which has different disappointing issues on each console driver's abilities. From my old /etc.rc.conf: font8x14="iso-8x14" font8x16="swiss-8x16" font8x8="swiss-8x8" allscreens_flags="MODE_30"
