Good luck, and let us know if you get this working, as my machines would like to see it happen as well, but I don't know if it is possible.
It is possible! I just got it working the way I want. I saw that the kernel messages where using the custom font (the larger font). I put a while(1); right before the kernel called init. The system booted and hung at the while(1); and was using the custom fonts. I realized then this was a userspace issue. I ran dpkg-reconfigure console-set and went through the menus and choose the option-> 'Do not change the boot/kernel font' now it doesn't switch back and I am able to see the cusom font sun 12x22 I was also about to select VGA from the dpkg-reconfigure menu and get large fonts I'm really happy about this, because now I can do more work without X, not have to strain my eyes, and I understand my system a little better.
