font in console mode
« on: May 04, 2004, 10:34:12 am »
Is it possible to change the font used when a Zaurus (SL-5500, Sharp ROM 3.10) is running in console mode? The default font uses letters which are somewhat large.

thanks,

Needs a recompiled kernel.

Recompile kernel: yuck. Sigh.

So the loadfont command won\'t change the console-mode font? Is it there because it\'s part of BusyBox, but the Z just doesn\'t use it? Or does it do something else?

thanks,
