Any > trick for this? setfont operates at the hardware level, and is specific to the Linux virtual terminal driver. It essentially uploads the specified font to the graphics card. You have to run it on the system whose graphics card you wish to reconfigure (i.e. the "terminal" end of an ssh or telnet session, not the "server" end). You can configure xterm etc to use a different font; there's a standard "VGA" font (vga.bdf) which is bundled with a few programs which require DOS compatible graphics (e.g. dosemu). > Second, I've noticed that sed regular expressions get > confused by the presence of multiple semigraphic chars, while a single one > seems to work ok.
