SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

This is the line for the system font ( font to be used ) .
latarcyrheb-sun16 i think is the default font .

< snip >

This font is used for non-X terminals (Ctl-Alt-F1..F6).

If you boot under init level 3 then they are Alt-F1, Alt-F2 , etc whereas
if you are under X Windows they are Ctrl-Alt-F1,Ctrl-Alt-F2,etc .

In Gnome at least
the font is according to the System > Preferences > Font setting, stored in
gconf's data at /desktop/gnome/interface/document_font_name, etc.

Never used Gnome as i use KDE . For the consoles though the
fonts are stores in /lib/kdb/consolefonts .
