I prefer to start "x" manually and have /etc/inittab set to run level 3 (multi user).When I boot this system, the console fonts are VERY SMALL... to the point of unreadable... even with glasses.

It's quick-and-dirty but once logged in to the TTY you can do `setfont -d` to double the default font size. That's just about usable for me on a 14" display Lenovo X1 at 3840x2400.
I'm sure there's a more canonical way to do this, or to persist it based on a quick skim of:
solar24x32.psfu.gz is pretty readable at that 3840 res on a 14" HDPI display. Not the prettiest, but tolerable.
