Thanks for that info. > My next goal is 80x40 etc. My screen is 27" and 1920 x 1080, so I can't imagine what vga=normal would look like :-) Too big, anyway. I've set consolefont="ter-124n" to give me a lovely VT screen. It does have a diagonal bar through the zero, though, as without it the zero and capital-O would be identical. At least at 12 x 24 I don't confuse 0 and 8. Still hoping to find a font editor though, to replace that zero. -- Regards Peter
