More real estate, same bit size fonts. I was just about to replay to my original query with the information that I found a program called setfont, and all the fonts in /lib/kbd/consolefonts/. In particular, I adjusted the font to be one of the wonderful terminus fonts[1], and I am happy now. Having the ability to use 16 bit color in the console would make me even happier, but that seems to be unachievable without moving mountains. Experiment on a terminal by typing, say, setfont ter-120b -C /dev/tty2 to try the font out on terminal2. 1. packages terminus-fonts-console and terminus-fonts (for X11). -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
