I don't know of any good way to change this.  I suppose that there might 
be some kind of escape sequence which might be able to do this, but I 
doubt it.  The mac console is rather simplistic.

I would recommend using the dt utility available for ftp on 
puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us.  It will let you use a much larger font 
size.  However, I still don't know if it will do reverse video.  For that 
kind of thing, I think that running X would be best.  Then you can set 
you background to whatever you want and have whatever font size and style 
you want as well.

Later.
