💖 SHOWCONSOLEFONT(8) 💖

Okay so this is the page from the System Manager's Manual, and it's all about showconsolefont! 🧚

✨ NAME ✨

showconsolefont - Show the current EGA/VGA console screen font 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

showconsolefont [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the showconsolefont command is literally a font reader 🫶 It dumps the current console font out to stdout for you. Lowkey iconic.

On Linux 2.6.1 and later, you can use the -C option to pick which console you mean. Its argument is a pathname, so you point it right at the device. It's giving precision 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -i, --info — Don't print the whole font table, just show ROWSxCOLSxCOUNT and bounce. Super quick vibe check ✨
  • -C, --console=DEV — Choose the console device you want to use. 💜
  • -v, --verbose — Get more details, be extra about it 🔥
  • -V, --version — Print the version number 🌈
  • -h, --help — Print the usage message, for when you forget everything (no judgment, bestie) 🙈
