No, I changed the code myself when tracking Riccardos font-problem - I suspected the ROM font to become inaccessible or something like that for some reason, turned out to be wrong but the change remained ( instead of defaulting to the ROM font it first looks for an 8 pixel wide font and uses the ROM font only as fallback ) 
The font Rudi saw is the compiled-in FONT_VT220L8x8.

They can't, but most graphics controllers can automatically scale things to fit the LCD's fixed resolution.

have fun
