Interesting that you asked about xterm specifically. I've never figured out how to make xterm text more than about 60% of a comfortable size.
xterm -fa "DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:italic:size=32:matrix=0.85 0 0 1" (choose Xft options as you like). Now all you need is a good font[1] and a sane color set[2]. [1] Andale Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Droid Sans Mono, Latin Modern Mono, Adobe Source Code Pro (all in openSUSE one way or another) Or for true fans: Fixedsys Excelsior: http://fixedsysexcelsior.com/ Consoleet B1: http://inai.de/projects/consoleet/ [2] VGA Palette (desatured): https://git.netitwork.net/pub/cgit.cgi/hxtools/tree/suser/fxterm
Using vttys avoids that impediment by usually having bigger text
When the x86 VT console is in one of the classic VGA text modes, they are limited to loading 8x8/8x14/8x16 fonts. When however driven by framebuffer, arbitrary bitmap fonts can be loaded with setfont, and principally all fonts can be loaded. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
