Displaying Formatted Text on Virtual Terminal

Hi,

I'm working on a project that requires formatted text to be displayed on the screen plugged into a Linux machine. I want to be able to control this text via a bash script and format it in a particular font and size. Changing the background colour would also be beneficial.

Does anyone know of a program controllable via command line that will allow me to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Liam

Check this link.

Thanks for the reply radoulov, I'll check that out and have a play around with it all.

Anyone else?

Thanks

Using terminfo capabilities as suggested by radoulov is typically the way to do it.

Have a look at the tput command also.
