Re: HOWTO and font selection

HOWTO is nice, thank you.

The howto shows how to do font_80 and font_132
selection but implies its only for xterm sessions.

Can you select fonts for console sessions?  I haven't
had any luck doing so.

Linux:
In VGA normal mode displaying a print spool file will not let me
switch to a smaller font.
In VESA mode the default 80 char font is too small.

AFAIK the font is completely determined at boot time. lilo can be configured use a given font, but once the machine has booted you are stuck with that.
