Slackware 10.2: How do I change default font for shell?
 

when installing slackware I decided to use a different font than the default, however, I accidently changed it to the wrong font, and now keys like "/" "\" and their respective shift counterparts (along with others) show up in shell as a "e" or "a" with " ' " over them.

How can I change the font back to one that includes all the keys?

Thanks is advance.

Hello,
go to start menu......then to "Settings" -> control Centre........
there are options for icons/Desktop etc..
try making that default
see whether it works for u ..

regards

Thanks for the tip.

However, the xkde fonts aren't the problem, its the shell and konsole fonts. I've tried changing all the fonts in each default or other wise, and it doesn't seem to work. But I'll try again.

In lilo, there are a series of commands such as vga=791 etc. All are commented out. They refer to using a framebuffer at various resolutions, and all are commented. Uncomment the one you want and run lilo again to wrtie the change to the mbr. If the number you chose is not supported by your video card, you will get an error.

If you want to change the console fonts then edit /etc/rc.d/rc.font
it will probably have something like "setfont -v foo-font"
or run "/usr/bin/setconsolefont" to get the same dialog based questions you got during the installation.

I am home right now. I rarely use the 'X' environment. There is a comment in /etc/lilo.conf that says #VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256
the following line says vga = 771. There is no # (comment) in front of the line. That means my login (I am normally at the command line) will be output at 800x600 with 256 colors. There are many alternatives from which you can try. Only uncomment out one of the options. This means you remove the # from one of the lines. Finally type lilo to make sure the changes are copied to the mbr.

You can always go to the font section of setup in pkgtool, like you do when you install Slack in the first place.
