What is the relation between consolechars, charset and the
/etc/console-tools/config file?
On boot up the console characters are hard to read without glasses.
The command consolechars -d changes to a very bold font.
The man page for charset indicates the default font is cp427 or iso01.
The entries in /etc/console-tools/config set APP_CHAR_MAP=utf8 and
SCREEN_FONT=uni3-TerminusBold16
After experimenting I edited /etc/console-tools/config to change the
line
SCREEN_FONT=uni3-TerminusBold16
to
SCREEN_FONT=uni3-TerminusBold32x16
which gave me a console font I can read without glasses.
This works for me but I am left wondering about the different options.
