[opensuse] To all of those still using xterm and have a highres display
Dear listmembers, maybe you readily know, but anyway: if you still use xterm and have a high resolution display (i. E. 3840x2560 like me) you will find that the fonts available "off the shelf" are between hard to read and hardly readable. In order to get this usable again (and you may use different approaches, I like this one because it works for all users the same way ... please do the following: - install terminus fonts ... zypper install zypper install terminus-bitmap-fonts - edit /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm ... - change as follows: Replace the entries for VT100.font and VT100wideFont by *VT100.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--32-320-72-72-c-160- iso10646-1 *VT100.boldFont: -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--32-320-72-72-c-160- iso10646-1 Other than that: in order to improve the situation on TTY1 .... TTY6, please modify /etc/vconsole.conf: New: FONT=latarcyrheb-sun32.psfu --- Old: FONT=eurlatgr.psfu This will make the console fonts readable.
