I now have 80x25 consolemode on the notebook. Thanks for that info. |
| 11 |
My next goal is 80x40 etc. |

Not really what I was looking for. It simply converts between |
| 20 |
different machine formats. I went to the project homepage at |
| 21 |
http://www.seasip.info/Unix/PSF/ looking for more info. I noticed a |
| 22 |
pointer to the PSF file format at... |

http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/font-formats-1.html I'll take a |
| 24 |
crack at writing a "consolefont magnify" utility. What I want to do is |
| 25 |
magnify lat1-08, lat1-10, lat1-12, lat1-14, and lat1-16 vertically and |
| 26 |
horizontally. The simplest approach will be to magnify by a factor of |
| 27 |
2 or 3. Since the fonts were originally for a 640 pixel-wide screen, |
| 28 |
that would would work on my notebook (640 * 2 = 1280) and on my 24" |
| 29 |
desktop monitor (640 * 3 = 1920). |
