NAME
displayfont - display linux console font
SYNOPSIS
displayfont [-8|-14|-16] [-k[eep]] [font]
DESCRIPTION
The displayfont program displays given font on console; if font is omitted, displays current font. All characters are shown, regardless of their possible special meaning. The program hardly attempts to restore original console state, font and unicode mapping after usage. 512-character fonts are handled as well.
OPTIONS
-8, -14, -16 Select font size for files in codepage format (.cp). -keep Do not restore original font and unicode mapping. May be abbreviated to -k.
SEE ALSO
console(4), setfont(8), showfont (no such manpage?).
BUGS
Linux-specific; was not tested on non-i386 systems.
