Hoqw do I increase the font size in the console sessions?

In Debian Halfway through booting there is a script that sets console parameters..font used and font size..I cannot for the life of me remember what it is though. you can access it via

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

I suspect its a bit more 'raw' in centos.

However googling suggests sevral ways - to mess with libraries and config files.
