OT: Setting Font in a Console

[John P. Verel]

I'd like to change the font when running mutt in a console.  I seem,
based on output from set, to be running at 80 columns by 25 lines, a
huge font for a 19" monitor.  I'm finding the documentation on terminfo,
console, ncurses, etc, etc more than a bit difficult to work through.
Can someone suggest the way to go about this?

TIA

John
