After booting, is there a way to adjust the console font size? What console? Does the desktop make a difference? I am still struggling to learn the unix way of doing things, so I don't know if it matters whether you're using KDE or Gnome. You will need to load different font; it is normally per-VT, so it should not affect other users. Look in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts for available fonts.
Thank you, setfont /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/<font> is just what I was looking for.
fyi: Even with a 12x22 font there are 80 lines on the console!
There they live, but how does one apply one from there after booting has finished? Isn't there usually a configuration file for each console in each user's home directory? I am thinking, e.g., of '.bashrc' for bash (I found one in my home directory, but haven't found one for 'root', and want to edit it to add a couple aliases I find handy).
I have not figured out how to do this for XTerm, and as it's font is too small and thin, I can't use it because I can't read it without putting my nose a couple cm from the screen. I use Konsole, and once I start it, there is a menu at the top, which includes 'Settings'. I select the 'edit Current Profile', and can change the font and it's size on the Appearance tab. Using that, I set the font to bold 12 point, and can now read the contents of that console without eye-strain. Or am I way off base? Are you talking about these consoles or something completely different?
