[Bug 724022] Re: Wishlist: Enable use of Ubuntu Mono as .psf console-setup font
Will it be possible to include a larger version of the font, e.g. 32x16? 16x8 is unusably tiny (and unnecessarily ugly) on "retina" displays. I'm on Yoga 2 which has a ridiculous density 3200x1800 13" display. Even with 32x16 fonts, I get 200x56 chars console. I briefly tried Ubuntu fonts in the console but whether I like the shape or not VGA and Terminus win simply because they have 32x versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724022 Title: Wishlist: Enable use of Ubuntu Mono as .psf console-setup font To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/724022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Christian: Sorry for the delay in replying. I must have missed the CC email. Yes, there is already 'ubuntu-title' from the Ubuntu "Foundry". Other people have mentioned doing a Serif version; whether or not that would fall under the same "family", I couldn't say. Ubuntu Title is in the package: http://packages.debian.org/ubuntu-title I appreciate that perhaps 'fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console' isn't great. But is the recommendation I got from others on 'pkg-fonts' at the time that I asked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724022 Title: Wishlist: Enable use of Ubuntu Mono as .psf console-setup font To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/724022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: The text-mode console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) currently uses the default system/VGA font but a hinted version of Ubuntu Mono would be lovely to have loadable on the Linux console when it's finished. Converting a TTF so that it is usable as bitmap Linux console font appears to be a two-stage process; first rasterising to a BFD bitmap font file (bitmap with metrics), and then from that into a rawform, equal width PSF bitmap console font: - otf2bdf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.ttf > UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.bdf - bdf2psf UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.bdf /usr/share/bdf2psf/standard.equivalents /usr/share/bdf2psf/required.set+/usr/share/bdf2psf/useful.set 256 UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.psf - setfont -h17 UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.psf + otf2bdf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.ttf > UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.bdf + bdf2psf UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.bdf /usr/share/bdf2psf/standard.equivalents /usr/share/bdf2psf/required.set+/usr/share/bdf2psf/useful.set 256 UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.psf + setfont -h17 UbuntuBetaMono-R-R21.psf The R21 Mono Beta has a cell bounding box of 482×1000 (including necessary leading and advance); this leads to bounding box of 8x17 rather than the traditional 8x16 and this is what the "-n17" forces upon loading.
