console font sizes
what is the proper way to change the size of the text on a tty(terminal, console)?
i've looked at the man settings, --help, and info, but i can't find a thing related to the terminal fonts. i won't be having x running soon, so i won't have access to the fonts that are used there. i've looked at /usr/sbin/update-fonts-scale, -fonts-update, and so on. i still can't make it work. anyone? thanks. |
Hey Emetib,
You can actually do some pretty kewl stuff here. Pull down the start menu and goto, Configuration> then KDE> and then Font. This should allow you to specifiy "Application type fonts, Desktop fonts, Window Tile fons and Terminal fonts and then some within those choices. |
ok, now how do i do it from the command line? the x that is set up now is messed up and will be removed soon and not put back on.
the reason that i want this is so that my /dirs will be on the screen, not just part of them. i would prefer not to use less and i am just more accustomed to them being somewhat smaller. thanks. don't think that it would matter, but it's a net install of debian as a firewall. |
Timing! I was stfw for something entirely unrelated earlier today and came across this. Have yet to try it out - it may be outdated or not relevant, but maybe it'll help. :)

emetib,
use command setfont (man setfont) to change console fonts. In Slackware, available fonts can be found under /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts and there is a rc.font script under /etc/rc.d which sets it for you after every reboot ... just so you won't have to set it manually every time. Enjoy Oh ... just a tip ... when you are searching for a command that does certain thing, but you dont have a clue what name does it have. Use: man -k keyword so ... to display available man pages for commands that have something to do with fonts, you would use: man -k font |
thanks for the tip.
cheers. |
So... any solution here?
Did the suggestions work?
