Seems the vt driver = was rushed out as a stop gap for KMS support missing that one important fea= ture. In my case I went back to using the sc driver since the nVidia driver= I use does not depend on it (kern.vty=3Dsc). Otherwise you're limited to = running the console in vga mode (hw.vga.textmode=3D1) or running it in the = native monitor resolution. It leaves you with the option for giant vga mod= e font or tiny native resolution font. Font selection is limited and perso= nally I don't think any of them are any better than the stock vga font. If= there's one feature the vt team needs to get out there fast it's the abili= ty to change console resolution. P.S. sorry for the horrible format, the retarded web based email I'm using = doesn't know how to replay to an email properly. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 2/22/18, Polytropon wrote: Subject: Re: how to change console font type and size ?
