I have this in .tmux.conf set -g default-terminal tmux-256color but I think you can use any colour variant of tmux/screen. > Was originally also trying to change the font & font size, but after a few > hours > messing with wsloadfont all I could get was a Missingno-style (Pokemon > reference) font.

You can load other fonts at runtime, but for the usual x86 video adapters they currently need to be the same size as the one chosen by rasops.
