You may even find 1 that is to your liking :) All 8x8 fonts don't look exactly the same you know :) And hey, if you don't like the fonts supplied with the system, you can always make your own too. Just to recap, if you find that you *do* want to experiment with higher-resolution consoles, this is how: # vidcontrol -f 8x8 # vidcontrol You can use: # vidcontrol -i mode to see what modes your videocard supports under syscons...
