I think:*dpkg-reconfigure console-data is the command for this, but please if you find yourself in front of such a problem firstly try to search for the answer by yourself, i believe you'll find lots of great thing besides the answer to that.*

Everytime a problem happens you ask for help or you try to solve it using your skills first? =]

I always beat my head against the wall for a few hours before
asking for help. I did not in this case as I didn't even have a
clue where to start.

william@ubuntu2:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data

Package `console-data' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: console-data is not installed

remember, this is on a server not a desktop.

I still don't have a clue.

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

(Installing console-data will give you a larger selection of fonts;
it'll pull in console-common

You're welcome. The file that controls the console fonts is
"/etc/default/console-setup" but if you edit it, you have to update
the initrd too.
