I'm rather fond of the font, it's large ish and has the appropriate high visibility color
Not to mention it's transparent, which is a minimal bar for a Slackware zombie.

Setting font for Virtual console:

Code:
setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/iso01-12x22.psfu.gz
or

Code:
for t in {1..64}; do
setfont -C /dev/tty${t} /usr/share/consolefonts/iso01-12x22.psfu.gz
done
