Hi,
I would like to change the font size in bash. I know how do it in ksh:

F_VDOBLE="\033#6"
print "${F_VDOBLE}Esto es..."

But in bash I don't know
Could you help me please?
Many thanks!

What are you trying to change the font size of? bash does not have a font size, but your terminal emulator does...

Well I have Kconsole and kubuntu 8.1

I would lika some like this:
echo "Hi" (this in normal size)
echo "I'm David" (this with wide font)

Thanks

If that works in your terminal, this code will work in bash, ksh or any POSIX shell:

F_VDOBLE="\033#6"
printf "${F_VDOBLE}Esto es...\n"

If you used standard commands instead of one shell's peculiarities, you wouldn't have to ask.

Many thanks, I do with print instead printf.

Thanks a lot! :smiley:

Sorry. I try today the command but I've saw that this command only puts the first line with wide font, the next lines have normal font :confused:

Any help?

Many thanks
