Switching to my chosen console font when fb console starts.

I use the "Uni3-Terminus12.psf.gz" font on the console and this gives
me 233x87 character cells on a 15" laptop screen.

When the boot process initially switches to the framebuffer console, I
am presented with a somewhat larger font.

I later switch to my preferred font by having specified the following in
/etc/console-tools/config:

    SCREEN_FONT=Uni3-Terminus12x6

I was wondering if there is a way I could switch to this font earlier
in the boot process .. ideally as soon as the framebuffer console
starts.

Thanks,
cga
