Hi i have a strange problem.
I use Gentoo on my laptop, which have 4k resolution, also i have connected two monitors with full HD res (1920x1080).
When i'm using external monitor everything is ok (i don't need to use laptop display), letters are big enought, but when i use laptop without external monitor i can't see anything (letters are too small) because console is in 4k resolution.
How to change resolution of text console (not the graphical interface)

I use intel HD 4600 graphic card and 64bit architecture.

I know no tools that could alter dpi of console.
But you can check /etc/conf.d/consolefont might help you get bigger font size.
