Thanks - then I will be able to use a smaller font than size 16 on my
20.1" external screen :).

By the way, there is another bug. Even though I have rebooted after
running dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, after switching to a console
from X, the charset is not set correctly. that is, the chars æ,ø,å are
not typed correctly until after I have run setupcon.
