View source for Set Font Size on TTY

# Look for a directory called <code>consolefonts</code>. On Ubuntu it is located at <code>/usr/share/consolefonts</code>. Other systems might have it at <code>/lib/kdb/consolefonts</code>. Go to the directory:
#:<pre>cd /usr/share/consolefonts</pre>
# Choose one of the font files (the file names usually specify the size) and apply it by running:
#: <pre>setfont FileName</pre>
# Usually, any "Latin" font will be appropriate for English. Choose a font that you like, and add the command to your <code>rc.local</code> file. It should look similar to this:
#: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/Lat15-TerminusBold22x11.psf.gz
exit 0
