Hi Helge
I removed the "In-Reply-To:" header, to get a new thread ... I hope you
don't mind ... :)

Yes, both on console and X, on both places via <Left-Apple>-E

On X (that is KDE/KDM), according to the KDE control-center,
General: Arial 9 (numbers here and following mean "size")
Fixed width: Monospace 9
Toolbar: Arial 9
Menu: Arial 9
Window Title: Sans Serif 9
Taskbar: Arial 9
Desktop: Arial 9
Please let me know if you need more details (Font packages installed,
etc ..)
On console, /etc/console-tools/config is responsible for the settings,
correct?:
Excerpt from /etc/console-tools/config
# Turn on numlock by default
#LEDS=+num
SCREEN_FONT=lat9w-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc2=lat9w-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc3=lat9w-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc4=lat9w-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc5=lat9w-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc6=lat9w-16
I just looked at my notes concerning consolechars: They say (and sorry
if you know 'consolechars' already .. ):
----------------------------------------
consolechars --tty=/dev/tty3 -vf lat9w-16
---------------------------------------
consolechars --no-act --tty=/dev/tty3 -vf lat9w-10
---------------------------------------
consolechars --default-font
----------------------------------
[notes like above simply help me forget man pages, once I found how some
tool works ... :) ]
I doubt the following will help, but who knows:
On console:
$ dumpkeys -i
keycode range supported by kernel: 1 - 255
max number of actions bindable to a key: 256
number of keymaps in actual use: 14
of which 7 dynamically allocated
ranges of action codes supported by kernel:
number of function keys supported by kernel: 256
max nr of compose definitions: 256
nr of compose definitions in actual use: 68
If we're already at it: I just realized that even on console the <>
key (right hand side of <SHIFT>) and ^° (above TAB) are swapped
... Same on your console?

Please let me know if you need to know more ....
