Check out this: I want my 25x80 back (w/o disabling X) http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17t=65384 Thanks. That poster, wje_debianforums, presumably has a 1024x768 screen as 80x25 times a 24x12 font is 960x600. I'm achieving similar results but I guess I'm fussier. The largest font I find is 32x16 which leaves about 20% of the screen unused at the bottom. I find the unused bottom disconcerting because I expect another line rather than scrolling. A similar machine, that got upgraded from Lenny, did not convert to framebuffers and so works fine. I don't object to disabling KMS but I don't know how. I do like framebuffers as it is a smoother, faster switch between VTs and X. Also framebuffers seem to be the Debian way and I maintain enough machines to not want to resist little implementation issues. The threads I've seen on this problem are all murky. I'm surprised that there is not more complaints--either there are fewer console users than I thought or I'm denser than most of them.

Problem with fonts in console Squeeze

I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-cyrillic but I have had no any success. (Under Lenny I had configured my console fonts such method without any problems). I tried to set vga=792 into my /boot/grub.cfg but have no success too. I had similar problem in squeeze, but i solved this just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup Encoding to use on the console \\UTF-8 Character set to support \\ # Latin1 and Latin5 - western Europe and Turkic languages Font for the console \\VGA (TerminusBold or TerminusBoldVGA may be better) Font size \\16 I come across this problem too , but the size of chars is still small . And I was wondering what's the default configuration of lenny ? anyone knows? Yes, It's the default configuration in squeeze, but i don't kown in lenny. It seems that the default font for the console is Fixed. Fixed and Terminus fonts in console is small and ugly for me. see below, I copy it from console-setup VGA has a traditional appearance and has medium coverage of │ │ international scripts. Fixed has a simplistic appearance and has│ │ better coverage of international scripts. Terminus may help to reduce │ │ eye fatigue, though some symbols have a similar aspect which may be a │ │ problem for programmers. │ │ │ │ If you prefer a bold version of the Terminus font, choose either │ │ TerminusBold (if you use a framebuffer) or TerminusBoldVGA (otherwise). if you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and select Fixed or Terminus as the the default fonts in console, the fonts is still small. Choose VGA as the default fonts and set font size to 16 is good enough to me. You can try TerminusBold or TerminusBoldVGA, they all better than VGA. Then, reboot the computer, the fonts in console will change. Sorry for my English. Good Luck! Hope this can help you!

Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/aanlktiif_oozke4-k1prjnpnz0ztrnvr0hphonvn...@mail.gmail.com I tried many fonts and their sizes but the problem didn't disapper. Did you try reboot your computer after run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup？ And the space about 1/5 of my display (on the right) under console aren't workable. It seems to me that probably it is a problem with settings of vga. you should edit /etc/default/grub to change vga settings but not /boot/grub.cfg if your current installed is grub2. But when my system starting, before the messgae console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48, I have normal fonts as in Lenny and full screen. Beginning this message fonts and workable screen space size are maked smaller. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
