First, you should _not_ have to switch to console to start MoL if you want
fullscreen - just switch to the appropriate virtual console after MoL
starts (in its startup output, it will mention exactly which VC its
fullscreen output is on). As far as the font size inside MoL, that's
MacOS's responsibility, all the way. Try [Apple Menu]->Control
Panels->Appearance, and you should be able to adjust colors, fonts, etc.,
from there.

I'm betting it's the same thing. Did you install it yourself, or are you
using a prebuilt binary package? If the latter, look in /etc/netatalk for
papd.conf, otherwise look in /usr/local/etc for it.
