To change the font add vga=ask,keep to the xen line and console=hvc0 to
the kernel line, then pick a resolution when prompted. You may also need
to add earlyprintk=xen to the kernel line.
Another thing to try is adding dom0_mem=max:2GB to the xen line as there
have been problems with letting the Dom0 have too much memory.
