[PATCH] services: console-font: Update example with HDPI font suggestion. |

Hi,
Another HDPI-inspired patch; since Marrakech I finally have a readable
console font, thanks to Bernhard M. Wiedemann.
This solution enters the manual in a kind of tricksy way. More
seriously, when updating the `guix system search console font' example
output, I found that mingetty and login and ... entries to be missing.
Is that a bug, or should the output be fixed? We could also change
the example command to `guix search console', then those entries are
present again.
Greetings,
janneke

Yes, that was so helpful! I've been trying from time to time and did
not succeed until now.

Sure. HDPI is more common on the interwebs, I just added HiDPI; thanks!
Always nice if you can find what you are looking fore :)
