[solved] Enlarging the boot font - some advice?
I've been searching the web high & low (well, a lot anyway) to find out how to enlarge the console fonts throughout the boot process.
I've managed to enlarge the GRUB menu & the font for a short part of the boot process, then I think the kernel takes over & I'm back to tiny fonts on my hi-res screen.
So I searched some more & via the Gentoo forum got enough clues to get me to the /etc/conf.d/consolefont file (& a few others associated with that file). The consolefont file has the following to say (excerpt):
# The consolefont service is not activated by default. If you need to
# use it, you should run "rc-update add consolefont boot" as root.
#
# consolefont specifies the default font that you'd like Linux to use on the
# console. You can find a good selection of fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts;
# you shouldn't specify the trailing ".psf.gz", just the font name below.
# To use the default console font, comment out the CONSOLEFONT setting below.
What that led me to discover was that the /usr/share/consolefonts directory does not exist in my Artix install. Which will be OK, when I work out how to create & populate it (I've created it)?
If someone could tell of a different path than /usr/share/consolefonts if Artix is using such, or, how to populate such a directory with the appropriate kind of fonts (a 22 sans mono type font is all that I'm really after) then I can finish what I've started.
Thanks in advance for your time.
[edit:] OK, I've discovered that the console fonts are where Arch puts them (what a surprise!) /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts
Now I just have to work out what they are! Looks like the Arch Wiki page has a link to a page that shows images of the various fonts.
Having looked at the images, now I need to learn how to convert a font file to be suitable (hopefully like I could do for the GRUB menu & the beginning of the boot...
