I couldn't find it in any search I did, which file control the console font settings ?
I'm not asking how to change/choose font I know it's possible to do it throw pkgtool or by running the script but where I can find what's the console font I'm on right now.
If you are asking me, no I didn't (you see, I was scratching head). I just found it mentioned somewhere. Here is the shortened man output:
Code:
NAME
setfont - load EGA/VGA console screen font
SYNOPSIS
setfont [-O font+umap.orig] [-o font.orig] [-om cmap.orig] [-ou
umap.orig] [-N] [font.new ...] [-m cmap] [-u umap] [-C console] [-hH]
[-v] [-V]
DESCRIPTION
The setfont command reads a font from the file font.new and loads it
into the EGA/VGA character generator, and optionally outputs the previ-
ous font. It can also load various mapping tables and output the pre-
vious versions.
If no args are given (or only the option -N for some number N), then a
default (8xN) font is loaded (see below). One may give several small
fonts, all containing a Unicode table, and setfont will combine them
and load the union. Typical use:
setfont
Load a default font.
setfont drdos8x16
Load a given font (here the 448-glyph drdos font).
setfont cybercafe -u cybercafe
Load a given font that does not have a Unicode map and provide
one explicitly.
setfont LatArCyrHeb-19 -m 8859-2
Load a given font (here a 512-glyph font combining several char-
acter sets) and indicate that one’s local character set is ISO
8859-2.
Note: if a font has more than 256 glyphs, only 8 out of 16 colors can
be used simultaneously. It can make console perception worse (loss of
intensity and even some colors).
Offtopic: Chinaman, I hope that you got my mail, because it was rejected at first time. If not, thanks for the script again. It's rather useful, even I can't get lm_sensors to show temperature.
Oh. It wasn't an important letter. I just expressed gratitude for your friendliness.
I've got a responce from your server, that i couldn't be authorised to send these letters into your server (you know, I'm using dyndns), so I registered and resent it. That's all.
FILES
/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts is the default font directory. /usr/share/kbd/unimaps is
the default directory for Unicode maps. /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans is the default
directory for screen mappings. The default font is a file default (or default8xN if the
-N option was given for some number N) perhaps with suitable extension (like .psf).
