Changing default tty font


How can the default console (tty, NOT xterm) font be permanently changed?

I tried the setfont command, but it does not act from scratch, as the login message font still remains the same. Besides, after changing the font with the syntax

setfont alt-8x8 # or something similar

as soon as I switch to the X environment (ALT+F7) and then switch back to a tty I find the font has returned to its default (the same as the login message one).
I then have to launch the setfont command again; this can be obviously done very quickly with an alias (provided no other commands are running), but I'd like a more neat and proper solution.

Thanks for any help.
