[ale] super tiny console fonts?

Believe it or not, there's actually a good reason why I'm looking for 
insanely micro fonts for my console.  Mainly though, I need to view a 
big textfile (with very long lines) and I'd like to see it all at once.  
I've heard of getting 160 characters across using SVGATextmode, but it 
won't build on Slackware 9 (I tried 2 different boxes); and it looks 
like it's no longer being supported.  I've since discovered setfont, but 
I can't for the life of me figure out how I can get a micro font that 
can do 160 chars on the console.  Does anyone have any insight into how 
I should approach this?  Is setfont the right tool for the job?

Much thanks,
CB

P.S.
Thanks for all the bash tips you guys sent over earlier today.  I got my 
app working perfectly!
Thanks!
