Gentlemen,
Looks like I need your help. I am a pretty new to TC, now working on thin client mixing Dell WYSE S0X hardware and the Core flavor installed. Everyting seems to work like a charm, and the only downside is the slightly, yet visibly garbled default console font (see the photos attached). I tried it on 15" and 22" monitors, but both ways the font output remained visually poor. Experiments with changing fonts using 'setfont' hint from Tips & Tricks section failed to resolve the issue, so currently I am still looking for advise to fix.

That is bad quality scaling by your GPU or screen. The solution would be to output the native resolution of your screen, so that it doesn't need to scale.
If your screens' resolutions are in the vesa table (see our FAQ), you could get by with a vga= bootcode. Otherwise it depends on the graphics card, for AMD/Intel the graphics- extension and maybe firmware is needed.

Thank you so much for response as well as advise. I do appreciate it.
