Speaking of console fonts, is there a 24 pixel-wide font available, or |
| 9 |
are there font-editors that can easily double or triple the width of a |
| 10 |
font? I have a 1920x1080 monitor, and 8-pixel-wide fonts are unreadable |
| 11 |
with a 240-column-wide display. I currently have... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
consolefont="sun12x22" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
...in /etc/conf.d/consolefont. Remember to run... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
rc-update add consolefont boot |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
...to make it take effect. That's 160 columns across, and readable, but |
| 20 |
still too much. A 24-pixel-wide font would give me 80 columns across. |
