DaZZa,
My previous reply documents some of the necessary information. Here are
the bits I missed.
When you edit the file I mentioned (/etc/sysconfig/i18n), you will need
to change from the default font (lat0-sun16) to one you will find when
you look in /lib/kbd/consolefonts. I chose lat0-08. You need to choose
one with an english character set and is also 8 pixels(?) in height
(hence the 08 or in some cases 8x8) if you want 50 lines. To get 43
lines you might try the xxx-10 fonts.
Hope that helps.
Brendan
