Did not try those yet, but I have it working with ibm font. I have added this font line in the wscons file font ibm16 - 16 ibm /usr/share/wscons/fonts/vt220l.816 and have the fonts set for the ttyE* devices set as setvar ttyE0 font ibm16 setvar ttyE1 font ibm16 setvar ttyE2 font ibm16 setvar ttyE3 font ibm16 You also have to set these devices to on in the /etc/ttys file ttyE0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 on secure ttyE1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 on secure ttyE2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 on secure ttyE3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 on secure This works for me for now. As I said I did not try the spleen fonts yet. I liked the ibm 16 bit high fonts for now. > > > > > -RVP > > > > -- > ---- Regards, Riza
