raw tty font size

I can now boot into the embryonic Gentoo system in my new machine,
which presents a raw TTY, whose font is too large,
ie there are too few lines on the screen.

Somewhere, there's a setting for changing this, but I can't find it.
Can anyone point me to the proper place to change the default font size ?

Thanks ! -- I missed that section of the extensive docs.
I chose 'Lat1-08', which gives 48 lines instead of 24 .
