Maybe the default font in your video card is funny. It seems they are
all different.
You can manually set a new font using the "setfont" program which
comes from the sys-apps/kbd package.
If you are using openrc, it contains /etc/conf.d/consolefont and
/etc/init.d/consolefont which you can use to automatically override
with a font of your own choosing at each reboot.
I personally use "ter-112n" from the package media-fonts/terminus-font
on my console.
