The Linux console is part of the kernel, and does not run in an X session. For example, Fedora puts the default graphical session at F2, and an extra one at F1.) I think it is amazingly cool that we can have both X and console sessions running at the same time. You may have more or fewer TTYs, and your graphical session may not be at F7. (This is no longer universal, however, and your Linux distribution may have it mapped differently. To get back to your graphical environment, press Alt+F7. When I say Linux console, I mean TTY1-6, the virtual terminals that you access from your graphical desktop with Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6. Let us first clarify what we’re talking about. In this article, I’ll show what I’ve found to be the easiest approach. As always, the ever-changing Linux landscape makes this less than straightforward, and font management on Linux is non-existent, so we’ll muddle along as best we can. Mark my words, friends, someday your eyes will be decrepit and you won’t be able to read those tiny fonts you coded into everything, and then you’ll be sorry, and I will laugh.įortunately, Linux fans, you can change your console fonts. I try to be a peaceful soul, but some things make that difficult, like tiny console fonts.
