Change console font in Fedora
September 30th, 2005 by George Notaras
Ever had the need to change the console font in fedora? I did because using the default font greek characters were completely unreadable. So, here is how to do it.
The fonts that can be used by the console are kept in the /lib/kbd/consolefonts/ directory.
You can define the desired font in the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file by modifying the SYSCONF entry. I used the iso07u-16.psfu.gz font that supports greek unicode characters, so my SYSFONT variable contains this:
SYSFONT="iso07u-16"
