Nothing works! Using Nvidia 7300 on 8.10
For example I really prefer the tty's on SuSE or Slackware.

Try
setfont foo where foo is a font found in /usr/share/consolefonts/.

e.g.
setfont Uni3-TerminusBold24x12

You can put the command in ~/.bash_profile if you want it to stick.

How can it be done systemwide?

I mean, to be changed before the user logs in
