Yes, that was the points in adding the support in the kernel :) > Perhaps this might best be done by putting those huge-sized fonts in an > appropriately named -huge fonts package? I'll leave the implementation > details to you, this is just a request for the fonts to be created. We already had the request in #816111, also #595696 was about possibly generalizing to using rasterized fonts. I gave a try at converting terminus.ttf to bdf with otf2bdf: otf2bdf -c C -p 32 -r 72 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/terminus/TerminusTTF-4.46.0.ttf > /tmp/terminus.bdf bdf2psf --fb /tmp/terminus.bdf /usr/share/bdf2psf/standard.equivalents ascii.set 256 /tmp/terminus.psf /tmp/terminus.sfm but the baseline is not coherent. Using DejaVuSansMono seems to be working better: otf2bdf -c C -p 32 -r 100 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf > /tmp/DejaVuSansMono.bdf bdf2psf --fb --width 32 /tmp/DejaVuSansMono.bdf /usr/share/bdf2psf/standard.equivalents ascii.set 256 /tmp/DejaVuSansMono.psf /tmp/DejaVuSansMono.sfm (I'm adding a new --width parameter to bdf2psf to specify the expected width since AVERAGE_WIDTH as set by otf2bdf doesn't really tell) Samuel
