Am not sure about the "virtual terminal" but what I do want to have 
control over is the screen which comes up when you press CTRL-ALT-F3, 
for example.

Why am I trying to get control over it?

Do CTRL-ALT-F3, login (you'll be root - so be careful!) then type in 
[without quotes] "ps aux" <Enter>. (To get back to your normal Desktop, 
press CTRL-ALT-F7.)

Now what do you see? Can you read a single line from beginning to the 
end? No. The damn font is too damn big.

On the other distro I used, the font was the same about the size of 
Dejavu Sans #10.

If the other distro can do it why not Ubuntu?
