Hi,
This page might help: http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/615. Slackware comes with a tool that you can use to select a new font called setconsolefont. Just run the command "setconsolefont" (w/o quotes) from the commandline as root and try out some fonts!

HTH,

The article seems interesting and IŽll read it. For the setconsolefont tool, I regularly change my fonts trough it and IŽve tried almost all of the fonts. I just use one for about a week and change to another and so on. I asked for additional fonts to these available from setconsolefont to have more fun when working in the console. :P
Thanks for the reply.
