Font selection with i915

From: Alan Stern

When Fedora 12 loads i915 during initramfs probing on my system, the
driver automatically installs a tiny 160x64 font. How can I prevent it
from doing this, or tell it to use a larger 80x25 font instead?

Is this documented anywhere?

In addition, are the error messages in the following dmesg log anything
to be concerned about? They appear during every boot:
