After booting, is there a way to adjust the console font size?
== background ==
I'm trying to create my own opensuse based boot DVD. With a Mac Book Air, the font size is way too small. I don't want to change grub, since that would affect all users.
I'd like to just have a note in the release notes for the DVD that if the font size is too small, they can adjust it via ....
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?
Felix, login into one of the VTs, then type: setfont /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/iso01-12x22.psfu.gz That is the command I used that make the font big enough on the Mac Book Pro for me to read it. It only impacted the current VT. setfont takes other args, but I didn't experiment with it.
