When I want to change the font with debian I edit /etc/console-tool/config. In
my case I know I want default8x16 so it is easy for me. I don't know what
choices are available or where they are. There likely is a tool for
manipulating the console font but I've never gone looking myself.

thanx to those who replyed!
don't know why but missed your mail but found out that i got some reply
when searching the www

did a:
consolechars -f grfixed,psf.gz
and now my VT looks a bit cool
tested a lot of those in
/usr/share/consolefonts
but mmm... couldn't even find a single silly looking one
