Title:
  console-setup defaults prevent using automatic highdpi fonts

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  console-setup defaults prevent using automatic highdpi fonts

  Kernel has built-in Terminus fonts, at multiple sizes, and it picks
  font based on screen resolution, including selecting high-dpi version
  of the font.

  The autogenerated default of FONTFACE=VGA and FONTSIZE=16 for Lat15
  results in tiny font getting set on high-dpi laptops. Dropping this
  setting, makes fonts to be of correct size on highdpi screens.
