WSFONTLOAD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WSFONTLOAD(8)NAMEwssetfont - Set the font for a wscons display device
SYNOPSISwssetfont [-c cfgdev] [-t ttydev] [name | -s slot]
DESCRIPTION
The wssetfont utility set the specified console to use a font previously
loaded with the wsfontload(8) utility. The font is specified either by
name or by using the -s slot option.
The options are as follows:
-c cfgdev
Specify the control device of the wscons display to operate on.
Default is /dev/ttyCcfg.
-t ttydev
Specify the name of the tty console device to operate on. Default
is the current console, i.e. the terminal device currently open
on STDIN, as would be returned by tty(1).
-s slot
Specify to use the font currently loaded in slot.
If neither a name or the -s slot option are given, the built in font for
the device will be used.
EXAMPLES
# wsfontload -N myfont -e iso /usr/share/misc/pcvt/vt220l.816
# wssetfont-t /dev/ttyC0 myfont
Load a font from the pcvt directory, and set the first console to use
this font.
# wssetfont
Set the current console back to the default built in font.

BUGS
If two fonts are given the same name when loaded, and both are valid for
the current screen type, the first font will always be chosen, even if
the -s slot option is used.
Some devices may support the use of multiple fonts; this utility does not
provide a method of setting more than one font for a given device.
