As Tom said, you can't.  His suggestion of setting the font will work,
sort of, especially if you make the font bold.

I asked this same question, 'How is it possible to set the console
resolution to a different value than the GUI?', and a developer told me
that it is not possible using nouveau (not sure about proprietary).
What I did is run with the old xv driver for nvidia, and add   nomodeset
vga=0x317     on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.  0x317 is
110x40, I think 0x315 is 80x25.

Your video hardware might not be nvidia, but this should give you some
ideas to try.

In the GUI Ctl-Alt-Bksp  will flip through the available resolutions
(at least it does here).
