Title:
  Ubuntu virtual terminal font is different between machines

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On some installations I notice that Ubuntu has a nice thin custom font
  in virtual terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F1). However on other machines, like
  this one, I'm stuck with the default BIOS font. Why?

  Ubuntu 12.04 - Core i7-2600 (HD 2000) = BIOS font
  Ubuntu 12.10 - Core i5-2467M (HD 3000) = Ubuntu font
  Ubuntu 12.10 - Atom N270 (i915) = BIOS font
