Believe it or not, there's actually a good reason why I'm looking for
insanely micro fonts for my console. Mainly though, I need to view a
big textfile (with very long lines) and I'd like to see it all at once.
I've heard of getting 160 characters across using SVGATextmode, but it
won't build on Slackware 9 (I tried 2 different boxes); and it looks
like it's no longer being supported. I've since discovered setfont, but
I can't for the life of me figure out how I can get a micro font that
can do 160 chars on the console. Does anyone have any insight into how
I should approach this? Is setfont the right tool for the job?
Much thanks,
CB
P.S.
Thanks for all the bash tips you guys sent over earlier today. I got my
app working perfectly!
Thanks!
