It's the normal way to change font like fedora's initscripts does it.

uh? vga=1 is 80x50 text mode. (720x400,70Hz is what monitor says about it)
from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/svga.txt:
Video adapter: <name-of-detected-video-adapter>
Mode: COLSxROWS:
0 0F00 80x25
1 0F01 80x50
2 0F02 80x43
3 0F03 80x26
The modes displayed on the menu are partially sorted: The list starts with
the standard modes (80x25 and 80x50) followed by "special" modes (80x28 and
80x43), local modes (if the local modes feature is enabled), VESA modes and
finally SVGA modes for the auto-detected adapter.
So I don't want to use SVGA mode or something, the standard 80x50 is fine.
And from http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LILO.html
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LILO-3.html :
vga = 0 # optional. Use "vga=1" to get 80x50
So it's also documented in lilo howto.
So thanks for suggestions but i want to use this mode, and get the
fonts working in it.
