THanks!

I can’t vouch for the font convert tool, but setting the font in the rc.conf to the X11_7x13 that is linked on that page fits a _lot_ of squiggly lines (I unscientifically counted 227×92, 20k+) on a 1600×1200 panel. If you use “setfont” you may need to set the default unicode mapping.

If that font doesn’t do it for you (pretty sure it’s just ASCII characters), maybe you can try the conversion tool on one of your favorites…

Hope this works for you or helps you figure out something better!

I’m running an Inspiron 8200 with the same display and a thin font at that size. If you have good eyesight it can buy you a couple of dozen more columns of text on the screen at 1600×1200. I guess it would either way, but if you can’t see it then it isn’t very useful…

There aren’t any less than 8px wide in the Arch “kbd” package, but I googled and found a page (at work – don’t have the link handy) where a guy has a font convert tool from Adobe and X to console bitmaps. Might be worth a look.

Cheers!

damaged justice: Me too. I cranked my screen resolution to 1600×1200 (native) and I’m really starting to enjoy it. I have to break myself of some old habits (like Shift-PgUp and Shift-PgDn :| ) but aside from that, I’m liking an X-less environment more and more all the time. This thing is great!

You just pushed me into it, and I’m already loving it!
