Well, my framebuffer is 1280x720 which is proper 16:9 aspect ratio for |
| 22 |
my monitor, but the consolefonts I've tried just don't seem quite my |
| 23 |
flavor. I want a small font (so I can fit a lot of characters in the |
| 24 |
screen) without being "short", by which I mean I'd rather have an 8x16 |
| 25 |
font than an 8x8. |

In Konsole I'm using "Fixed [ETL]" 10pt, whatever that is, maybe it's |
| 28 |
the default, I can't remember, but it's nice. |
