Forgot to mention, pretty much everything is about 2/3 the size it needs to

cmdline to make Anaconda's text legible?

It's perfectly legible here. anaconda will just be using the default X
DPI, I think. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for, it doesn't
do much different in terms of display from what oldUI did.

It's just as bad as F17's: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701190

The problem is the default size Anaconda fonts for the display's native resolution are too small, and overall, whitespace is massive. By reducing resolution or forcing DPI up, fonts can be made acceptable. The problem is neither workaround for too small fonts is available in Anaconda, at least, not explained anywhere I've been able to find.

My workaround is to start installation on a smaller 1280x1024 LCD, and after Anaconda starts, move the VGA cable to a larger CRT that Anaconda would otherwise set to 1920x1440. This shouldn't be necessary.
