In Debian I resolved this by setting a nice console font:

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Select your preferred encoding, I use UTF-8.

Select the character set, Latin 1 and Latin 5 for me in the USA.

Select the font for the console, I chose TerminusBold.

Select the font size, I chose 11x22 (framebuffer only).

Afterward, my /etc/default/console-setup has these lines:

CHARMAP=3D"UTF-8"

CODESET=3D"Lat15"
FONTFACE=3D"TerminusBold"
FONTSIZE=3D"11x22"



This avoids setting video modes via GRUB or the kernel command line
which may effect X11/Wayland later on.
