walt22 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello, I have started on Armbian Ubuntu on a Orange Pi PC and have some difficults to follow the tiny font on the terminal emulator. In order to change the fontsize, I used the command "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and choosed the Terminus font with a bigger size. But no effect after reboot. With which trick a modification can be performed? What is with the fonts marked with "framebuffer"? If a modification is not possible with the Armbian terminal emulator, can I use an alternative? So I miss a property button as available on Raspian. Thanks for yor help and best regards Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Which image, which kernel? Provide logs (armbianmonitor -u), when you report a problem. HDMI console or desktop Xterm emulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What if you just change screen resolution with h3disp to some lower one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt22 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello Igor, I have already tested it with a lower resolution, but it dos'nt look good. There are so many fonts on the system and I am disappointed not to use a proper one. I need a crisp display for screenshots even with black characters on white background, because I write an article about MQTT and Node-RED.

walt22 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hello, I have solved my problem by the installation of gnome-terminal. This terminal has large, more readable black fonts on white background. And it supports cut and paste! I am surprised that Armbian has such a lausy default terminal, my recommendation is: implement gnome-terminal! Best regards Walter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you got if solved via the gnome-Terminal its sound you used a X/Desktop. console-setup does only change the console at boot before the desktop-manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
