I now have 80x25 consolemode on the notebook. Thanks for that info.

It simply converts between different machine formats. I went to the project homepage at http://www.seasip.info/Unix/PSF/ looking for more info. I noticed a pointer to the PSF file format at... http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/font-formats-1.html I'll take a crack at writing a "consolefont magnify" utility. What I want to do is magnify lat1-08, lat1-10, lat1-12, lat1-14, and lat1-16 vertically and horizontally. The simplest approach will be to magnify by a factor of 2 or 3. Since the fonts were originally for a 640 pixel-wide screen, that would would work on my notebook (640 * 2 = 1280) and on my 24" desktop monitor (640 * 3 = 1920). -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
