Hi Horst, >is it possible to change the font on the console? Yes - use 'vidcontrol -f <font>', where <font> is one of the standard FreeBSD syscons fonts. I think you might have to switch vty's and back to get it to redraw the existing screen in the new font. >I personally would love to have the same small font as in >in the openfirmware screen - or at least a similar small >font. > >I like small console fonts :) The font size can only be set at boot-time from the loader with the hw.syscons.fsize variable. Supported sizes (heights, really) are 8, 14 and 16, with 16 the default. later, Peter.
