Hi, this is an RFC patch for automatically selecting a bigger font for high resolution monitors if available. Although we recently got a 16x32 sized font support in the kernel, using it still requires some extra kernel option. This patch reduces this and the kernel will pick up a bigger font.
The logic is simply checking the text screen size. If it's over a threshold, the penalty is given to the function that chooses the default font. The threshold was chosen so that the normal display up to Full HD won't be affected. There are two preliminary patches and they are merely cleanups. They can be applied no matter whether to take the last patch or not. thanks, Takashi === Takashi Iwai (3): fonts: Fix coding style fonts: Use BUILD_BUG_ON() for checking empty font table fonts: Prefer a bigger font for high resolution screens lib/fonts/fonts.c | 103 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) -- 2.16.4
