Ok, it seemed to me that at least one screenshot showed a terminal
window.

Maybe http://www.frozenblue.net/tools/howtos/?v=redhat-8-console-fonts
is helpful. It seems to cover exactly what you claims. It is not tested
by me. Looking at /etc/DIR_COLORS (and /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm) all seems
to fit already. So you probably just have to change the system font.
Colors on the console are very limited.

# 00=none 01=bold 04=underscore 05=blink 07=reverse 08=concealed
# Text color codes:
# 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white
# Background color codes:
# 40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white

This is the full list of possible values. So I think you miss the bold
colors, like it is mentioned in the page I gave the URL above.
