Well, I know how *not* to do it... I changed CONSOLE_FONT to "t.fnt" in /etc/sysconfig/console, and it momentarily switches it during the boot sequence, but then immediately changes it back.
There seems to be a problem with /etc/sysconfig/console, and it has to do with the CONSOLE_SCREENMAP entry. /etc/init.d/kbd doesn't seem to like the entry of "none" that was there in my system, and since I know the console runs in utf-8, I simple commented out that line. Try editing /etc/sysconfig/console, and change the line
CONSOLE_SCREENMAP="none"
to
#CONSOLE_SCREENMAP="none"
Thanks, worked like a charm.
You can always use YaST2 to change the console font, too. Just make sure that you have commented out that line in /etc/sysconfig/console first. Start YaST2, and then click on "System", followed by "Sysconfig Editor." Click on the + that is next to "Base-Administration", and then click on "Console". If you don't see the font you want in the pulldown menu, just enter your choice there by hand. To finish up, click "Save" and then "ok."
I didn't see this setting in the GUI version, only the text one.
You can do this with YaST2 in text mode, of course, but it is a little clunky. Making use of the Alt key rather than Tab helps things a lot, though. Also, if you are using YaST2 in text mode, and you see a + symbol, try using the + key that is on the number pad, rather than the + key that is next to Backspace. The + next to Backspace doesn't seem to work right if you are using a US key map for the keyboard.
<rant>Good Lord, that's user-hostile! Bad enough you can't just hit Enter on a selection but have to alt-L for Launch. YaST2's functionality is good, but he really needs to learn some table manners.</rant> -- =========================================================== Glenn Holmer (gholmer@ameritech.net) ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing music well is a matter of distorting the score to produce the desired illusion, namely the existence of the score in a pure state. ----------------------------------------------------------- -Shadow, 1975 ===========================================================
