About increase terminal font size

satimis · 04-24-2015, 06:58 AM

Hi all,

Ubuntu 14.04 server

Please advise how to increase the font size?

Edit /etc/default/console-setup

Try
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="24x12" / "24"

and reboot without effect.

Thanks

Regards

depends on the gui you use. Usually the terminal has a default settings you need to modify that (and the terminal has a menu to set preferences)

You can set manually by:

Code:

setfont fontfile

Fonts are installed in /usr/share/consolefonts.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

$ setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/Lat7-Terminus28x14.psf.gz

works here for me.

But edit /etc/default/console-setup

Code:

CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="Lat7"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="28x14"

Reboot. It doesn't work

This is definitely not UTF-8 perhaps ascii.

Hi,

Following combination works here;

Code:

CHARMAP="VISCII"
CODESET="Lat15"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="28x14"

Then run;
$ setupcon

Thanks
