I feel a bit odd for asking this, because I used to live on the
console, but I must ask: why? Why do any of you care about better
fonts or resolutions or assorted prettiness on the console?

Just go into X. OpenBSD has the full range of window managers in
ports, from ratpoison and amiga-lookalikes to treewm to Enlightenment
to GNOME/KDE. Can't you at least use ratpoison? A computer incapable
of even that should probably not be taking up a monitor or keyboard.
