Ack. Is 16 fuzzy enough, what do you think?
I think you should only accept modes where the difference is a fraction
of a character width or height.  A difference more than that and
clear_margins() will not work correctly.  
How do I - from a low level fb driver - determine the character size?
You cannot. That's called fbcon-fbdev separation.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
