Change console font in Fedora

Ever had the need to change the console font in fedora? Sometimes you need to change it based on your requirements and font support like Greek fonts. The fonts that can be used by the console are kept in the /lib/kbd/consolefonts/ directory.

You can define the desired font in the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file by modifying the SYSCONF entry. I used the iso06.14.gz font, so my SYSFONT variable contains this:

SYSFONT=”iso06.14″
