Mine too, but I eventually found something that helps (though it isn't setting things back to 80 columns). With the new kernel video mode setting, the fonts in console mode come from the console fonts in /lib/kbd/consolefonts/. The one it uses is determined by the font named in the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n and (for me) usually seems to be the silly name "latarcyrheb-sun16". So what I wanted was a font twice as big as latarcyrheb-sun16, but with the same characterset. A google search eventually led me to "psftools" which I downloaded, built, and used to scale the 16 bit font by a factor of 2, producing a 32 bit font, which I can actually read (a tad blocky, but better than invisible). Install that in the consolefonts directory, point the i18n file at it, and Bob's yer uncle.
