Hey Alan!

 AI> I never even thought of that. I'll give some different sizes and

It is also possible to add 'setfont' to either profile or configuration files
for apps so that any user can have customized enviroments suitable to their
needs.  For example ~/.vimrc which can contain much of the specialized
languages and character types such as utf8 multibyte or whatever 8-bit codepage
including cp437, although I wouldn't recommend doing that since it cripples a
fine and upstanding app.

 AI> that is easy to do with with bash and linux.

Not sure about easy but definetly doable.  Also other shells besides bash but
bash is probably the best known and used as far as I have witnessed since way
back when.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
