I'm not very familiar w/ using setfont, but if you haven't already, look at "man setfont: - it gives the various options, font directories, etc. The default directory for console fonts is /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts. Good luck! :) Mike ------------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com ------------------------------------------------------- Time is an excellent teacher; but eventually it kills all its students -----Original Message----- From: Krikket [mailto:krikket@gothpoodle.com] Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2003 9:52 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] The setfont command I've been trying to Russify my computer. I've been almost completely successful, with a couple of minor points, and I think if I clear this one up, I'll have the others fall into place... So, how the frell do I use the "setfont" command? It would seem that simply typing "setfont <font>" should do it. But it doesn't. What I get is: linux:/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts # setfont koi8r-8x16.gz putfont: PIO_FONT: Invalid argument linux:/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts # Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I've found a good resource on russifying Linux, but this one item is lacking... Also, when I do have it complete, I'll probably make a short webpage, so one is already set up for SuSE folks. (I haven't found one. Most people Russify RH or Mandrake.) But aside from this, the differences have been relatively minor. (And I have a feeling that this one is also minor, I'm just clueless...)
