Fix corrupted console font on Kali Linux 2021.1

Fix corrupted console font on Kali Linux 2021.1
I have installed Kali Linux on a VM with 512 MB memory and 2 vCPU using network installer. The installation was uneventful but my first login shows the following:

It is not pretty, so to fix it do:

$: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Then select:

• UTF-8
• Guess optimal character set
• Terminus
• 8x16

Select different font type as appropriate.

It should now look much better
