can any one tell me how to set the font size in unix?
"The font size of what?" would be my first question.
suppose if want to echo "USER DOESNT EXIST"
i want "USER DOESNT EXIST" TO HAVE A FONT SIZE OF 15.
Where are you echoing it to? What is the output device type? Is it a terminal? XWindows? Printer?
i am displying it on my screen.
That doesn't tell me anything.
By what mechanism is it appearing on your screen, in a telnet session, ssh session, X terminal, how?
porter i am new to unix so i really cant understand what you are asking.
in simple way i would say at command prompt i am echoing that line.
I'll assume you are at a command line console which basically mimics a VT-100 terminal.
So the answer is no, you can't.
Font sizes etc require different size fonts typically on a bitmap/raster/dot-addressable devices such as bitmap displays eg an X-terminal or dotmatrix/inkjet/laserjet printer.
You cannot increase the font by command.
But you can download PUTTY and increase the fonts of the window
He hasn't actually said he's using a Microsoft Windows client. :rolleyes:
thanx porter and rest of the guys for the reply but i really cant understand you porter. It's toooooo technical.
-
ASCII terminals don't do font sizes.
-
bitmap displays, laser/dotmatrix/inkjet printers do.
Is that simple enough?
I am using putty.
Also on my 19inch monitor if message is appearing in one line then on 14inch it appears in two lines. Is there any settings that i need to do so that there is consistency.
The traditional size for a terminal is 24 rows of 80 columns. With the marvels of bitmap displayed we can have terminals of any size we want.
In Putty's configuration go to "Window", and you can change the appearance.
thanx porter
