When installing UM 16.04, the console font while installing was nice and small. Now it’s huge and Plymouth is huge during boot also, and it was high resolution, too. I’ve tried using sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup but there is no small font available.
Any suggestions?
what are your system specs?, have you added any graphics card drivers?, have you run a full system update?:
What theme are you using?.
Did you do a disk install and follow this advice?:
Ubuntu MATE 16.04
MSI 970 Gaming motherboardAMD 8320E
16GB RAM
GeForce 960, 367.27 nVidia drivers
Blue Menta theme. I always burn at the slowest possible speed.
In a terminal window, enter the following command:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i dpi
What is the output?
Another thought, change the console resolution.
I changed the console resolution to 1600x900, and GRUB and Plymouth look great, but the console is still that huge font…
I hope you’re 1 step away and don’t already have this addition to /etc/default/grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
This works for me to keep TTYs same as grub on nVidia but all these interactions can be sooooo elusive.
Further to Bill’s suggestion, try running the following terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t):
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get remove nvidia-367 && sudo apt-get install nvidia-367
RESTART AFTER RUNNING THE ABOVE COMMAND!. 
Another command you might want to run after the restart is the following:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f
Have you tried console-setup again?
also
/etc/default/console-setup
