Hello,
thanks for the encouragement. I am continuing to play and have found the
lat0* fonts seem to work. I wish there was some docs somewhere on what the
difference lat0, lat1, etc. fonts are.
The other problem is that consolefontchars does/can change the number of
rows on the screen, but I cannot get it to change the number of columns.
Anyone know how to do this?
Sincerely,
- Henrik
