conwidth=160 option works for the early live boot process but right after ceni is done with connecting it jumps to larger font size. Switching to TTY2 gives me a large font size then. It might work on an installed system, but it seems unlikely considering whyt I got now. I also don't find the option in antiX-cli-cc, you must have removed this option.
It is still accessible via antiX-cli-cc.
And, last I checked, its use still resulted in:
switch to console Ctrl_Alt+F5 and find uncomfortably large font.
Wonder: maybe font change doesn't occur until after console login? Nope, still same uncomfortably large font.
Wonder: maybe the change takes effect following reboot? Nope, still same uncomfortably large font.
so
short of embedding a call to console-font-select within .bash_profile (or whatever)
I was faced with the prospect of needing to manually invoke console-font-select each time I entered a console session.
as previously discussed here:

I"solved" by hacking the content of
/etc/default/console-setup
Code: Select all
sudo chmod -w /etc/default/console-setup
sudo nano /etc/default/console-setup (and refer to my linked forum post regarding details to edit)
sudo chmod -w /etc/default/console-setup
more recently, I discovered upon revisiting

apparently an identical"solve" would be to copycreate
/etc/default/console-setup ~/.console-setup
(Does that similarly require a
chmod dance? Dunno, i haven't checked.)
