Speaking of console fonts, is there a 24 pixel-wide font available, or are there font-editors that can easily double or triple the width of a font? I have a 1920x1080 monitor, and 8-pixel-wide fonts are unreadable with a 240-column-wide display. I currently have... consolefont="sun12x22" ...in /etc/conf.d/consolefont. Remember to run... rc-update add consolefont boot ...to make it take effect. That's 160 columns across, and readable, but still too much. A 24-pixel-wide font would give me 80 columns across. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
