HOWTO is nice, thank you.
The howto shows how to do font_80 and font_132 selection but implies its only for xterm sessions.
Can you select fonts for console sessions? I haven't had any luck doing so.
Linux: In VGA normal mode displaying a print spool file will not let me switch to a smaller font. In VESA mode the default 80 char font is too small.
AFAIK the font is completely determined at boot time. lilo can be configured use a given font, but once the machine has booted you are stuck with that.

for print spool files is a req.
The reason I am interested in a console app is I have a big need for 122 key kbd
and I can map anything with Linux setkeycodes. But XFree86's convoluted
keyboard handling ( I've been hacking on the source for 3 weeks) doesn't
assign keycodes to all the 122 scancodes - a real mess.
SOooo,,,, Since I can dynamically change fonts with consolechars(8) I wonder......
I would love to try to hack the 5250 source and change fonts dynamically.
You do it under xterm.
Could you give a hint where in the source it sees from the AS400 a 132 display
thingy and where would be a good place to make the font jump and I'll see
if can make the patch.
I think that would be MUCH easier than what I have been trying to do
with XFree86.
Hmm.. is that a telnet thing and not a 5250 thing?
Thanks.
