If it involves setting up a fonts server or such,
No, only it is hard to understand the doco. You can mess with the colors using "setterm -foreground green -background white" for instance. load a font with "consolechars -f fontfile". "ls --color=yes" will reset the console attributes when it exits, though, so you might want to alias that to a wrapper script that resets the attributes to what you want. I don't know of a way to _read_ the console attributes, which is probably why "ls" does the way it does. look in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts to see what fonts you have lying around. There are some other funky ones lying around on metalab.unc.edu (www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux) somewhere, I think. > maybe I'll make do with what I have. It's not all that bad really.
