I couldn't get anything less than 120 columns across. Here's the scriptlet "listres" I used to check all the terminal fonts. Note that it does *NOT* begin with #!/bin/bash and is not chmod'ed executable. That's because COLUMNS and LINES are not environment variables, but are shell variables. So they are not inherited by a deeper script. cd /usr/share/consolefonts for cfont in ter-* do setfont ${cfont} echo "${cfont} ${COLUMNS} ${LINES}" done cd I had to "source" it to stay within the same shell level... . listres > /dev/shm/screensize.txt -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
