Subject: Change font in TTY, GDM and grub?
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:16:27 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871q08slvo.fsf@mccd.space> (raw)

Hi!

The TTY, gdm and grub have a text size that is way too small, and I
struggle to read them. Is there a way to change the font or make them
larger? I couldn't find anything in the info documentation.

During the boot sequence the font legible. I think there it is using
some variant of terminus, whereas the other parts (the tty and grub
specifically) it is using a different font which is too small.

For GDM, I think the environment variable GDK_SCALE needs to be set to
1.5, but I am not sure how to do that in Guix.

I'm using the EXWM desktop.

Thanks in advance for any help,
- Marc
