increase size of terminal font
increase size of terminal font
I'm running debian 9 with xfce on a lenovo. I like it!
I like to boot to terminal and id like to increase the font size. (I'm an OG)
I ran "dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup" to set the fonts but the options do not increase font size enough.
Please throw me a bone.

Re: increase size of terminal font
I am assuming it is the xfce4-terminal, ? or is it xterm ?I'm running debian 9 with xfce
you can start the xfce4-terminal by typing this command:
Code: Select all
xfce4-terminal
Try looking at the "edit" > preferences > appearance >
There is a option for the font sizes and types.
If it is xterm:
Code: Select all
man xterm
-fs size
This option sets the pointsize for fonts selected from the
FreeType library if support for that library was compiled into
xterm. This corresponds to the faceSize resource.
-----------------------------
-fa pattern
This option sets the pattern for fonts selected from the
FreeType library if support for that library was compiled into
xterm. This corresponds to the faceName resource. When a CJK
double-width font is specified, you also need to turn on the
cjkWidth resource.
Code: Select all
xterm -fa 'Monospace' -fs 14
Code: Select all
xterm -fa 'monospace' -fs 22
on using xterm, and changing the fontsize:
How to change the font size in xterm
There are many results, with details on making the change permanent,etc.
That is if it is xterm, you don't specify what terminal, and there are many,..the procedure
is different depending on the terminal emulator.

Re: increase size of terminal font
I really like the sun12x22.psfu.gz font included with the (upstream) Xorg kbd package, it's a clone of the original SunOS (Solaris) console font and it is very large and nicely readable.1885 wrote:I like to boot to terminal and id like to increase the font size.
Unfortunately, the Debian kbd package doesn't include this font (I think the licensing isn't DFSG compliant), my solution to this is here:

Re: increase size of terminal font
[solved]
vi
/etc/default/console-setup
Then I changed to the following.
CODE: SELECT ALL
CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="Lat7"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="28x14"
I can see clearly now.
Thanks for the posts.

It should be in the list, I think.
There's also a "32x16" version that should be even bigger.
