In my transition from a Dell XPS 13 L322X (2013 vintage) to a Dell XPS
13 9380 (2019 vintage), console fonts at bootup are incredibly small.
Is there a way of controlling that?
For a German keyboard I have this in /etc/vconsole.conf :
------------
KEYMAP="de"
FONT="ter-924n"
------------
AFAIKS with settings in this file I changed fonts both for the
boot-up messages and the tty's after boot.
Note:
From man systemd-vconsole-setup.service:
"Execute systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service in order to
apply any manual changes made to /etc/vconsole.conf"
I'd try to test fonts on a tty to see what they look like before
changing them via /etc/vconsole.conf
So something like
sudo setfont -v ter-924n -C /dev/tty6
might help for this
More fonts to try maybe in
/lib/kbd/consolefonts
man setfont
Thank you; this is very helpful. Now, when I use ctrl-alt-F2 to login
through console, the screen font is very readable.
However, on bootup, when I want to access the kernel menu, or view the
scrolling messages as the system and processes are started, I assume that
I have to alter grub configurations, yes?
I've reviewed some webpages on grub configurations, but it's easily been a
generation since the days of FC2 (or FC3) when I adjusted grub.
Any guidence here would be helpful
Thank you again,
Max
