Hi Cheryl, The -16 at the end of your font name means that it's a 16-point font which is quite large. Look up your font files and find one that ends in -08. That all by itself will approximately double the number of lines. I can never remember where the font files are, but Debian doesn't have them in the same place anyway... You can make this change temporarily for testing by using the setfont utility. I could do: setfont LatArCyrHeb-08 So you may well have lat0-sun08* (probably .psfu.gz but you can leave that part off when you refer to it). To see the dimensions of your screen do: tput lines tput cols Or you can look it up in stty which is where tput gets the information from.
