As I remember it, you have to supply a different file with the console font
and rebuild the kernel. If you want to create a new font file from an existing
AmigaDOS font, use the fontdumper program. I wrote this some time ago and it
should still be in the contrib area on uni-regensburg and possibly the mirrors.
Hopefully the code still works correctly under AmigaDOS. If not, drop me a
line and I'll see if I can get it working again.
