Bug Description

console-setup defaults prevent using automatic highdpi fonts

Kernel has built-in Terminus fonts, at multiple sizes, and it picks font based on screen resolution, including selecting high-dpi version of the font.

The autogenerated default of FONTFACE=VGA and FONTSIZE=16 for Lat15 results in tiny font getting set on high-dpi laptops. Dropping this setting, makes fonts to be of correct size on highdpi screens.
