If you are using openrc, it contains /etc/conf.d/consolefont and /etc/init.d/consolefont which you can use to automatically override with a font of your own choosing at each reboot. I booted install-cd, and console font there looks normal. Then I booted my system again, and console font looks ugly. I checked /etc/conf.d/consolefont: both install-cd and my system use default8x16. The only difference was that my freshly installed system did not have corresponding start-up script activated. So all I had to do was: # rc-update add consolefont boot Now font in console looks normal. Thanks! Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!

[gentoo-user] Strange console font: m looks like small M
Hi, I just installed Gentoo on one box and noticed one strange thing when I'm in console: Small letter m looks more like M reduced in size. And small w looks more like small and rotated M. How can I fix it??? Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists! Everything else is considered to be spam and therefore deleted.

If you mean a terminal emulator, such as xterm, you can usually use -fn lucidasanstypewriter-10 or -fn -*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-80-100-100-*-*-*-* or some similar nonsense. x11-apps/xfontsel can help with finding font names.

You can manually set a new font using the setfont program which comes from the sys-apps/kbd package. If you are using openrc, it contains /etc/conf.d/consolefont and /etc/init.d/consolefont which you can use to automatically override with a font of your own choosing at each reboot. I personally use ter-112n from the package media-fonts/terminus-font on my console.
