You are running a linux system in text mode. You are using either

• Physical monitor and keybord
• Remote access console (example: Dell iDRAC)
• A Virtualized Console on qemu

In any of the above applications – due to the monitor size the font is so small it is difficult to read.

To select a new font for these applications:

• Fonts that you can use on your tty are located in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts directory.
• To test a font  – execute
  • su root
  • cd /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
  • ls
  • (choose a font to try)
  • setfont Filename – (example setfont sun12x22.psfu.gz)
• To have the font used by the tty’s every time you reboot, edit the file /etc/vconsole.conf
• Find the line FONT in the file and replace the name of the font with your newly desired font
• Have a nice day!!

Tested on Rocky Linux 8 and Fedora 39
