Thanks, Samuel and all! I hadn't realized it's now this easy to adjust console font and resolution. The last time I delved into these matters one had to discover available resolutions and set them during boot. On the fly adjustment sounds much friendlier! <grin> I'm personally content with my 64 by 175 consoles, but when I try to do some task with sighted friends and colleagues, they understandably complain about the print they can't read. To assist them I think I'll gen up a few setting adjustments into a script file.
