DEBIAN CONSOLE FONTS
I have found another way to change the Default Linux console font to something that is more readable, from the default which is really small text. The instructions are at [1]. This works on my current Debian [2] 11.0 set up, but as usual Your mileage may vary. If you ask on a forum, social media or IRC about this, please quote the website below [1] and not this blog post.
The contents of my /etc/default/console-setup are now as follows:-
1 # CONFIGURATION FILE FOR SETUPCON
2
3 # Consult the console-setup(5) manual page.
4
5 ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
6 CHARMAP="UTF-8"
7 CODESET="guess"
8 FONTFACE="TerminusBold"
9 FONTSIZE="16x32"
10 SCREEN_WIDTH="80"
11
12 VIDEOMODE=
13
14 # The following is an example how to use a braille font
15 # FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf'
16
Hopefully this is useful.
For the record my settings are:-
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="guess"
FONTFACE="TerminusBold"
FONTSIZE="16x32"
SCREEN_WIDTH="80"
VIDEOMODE=
