I requested a bug closure, hopefully it'll close... I was left with with pretty big fonts at the console though, which I don't like. I was using terminus v16b under 1024x768 before, but that's too big now. I tried v14b, but that didn't make a difference, and v12n is not supported, it fails... So I tried alt-8x8, and I like the size, but I don't like the font which at this size looks a bit ugly... any recommendations are welcome... Thanks, -- Javier
