Does anyone know what the command is to change what font you use at the command line? Also, where is that set during boot? I'm using conectiva, although it's sysv init scripts (but with spanish and portuguese comments :)

Here's the contents of my /etc/rc.d/rc.font

#!/bin/sh
#
# This selects your default screen font from among the ones in
# /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts.
#
/usr/bin/setfont -v mod_d.fnt.gz


Yeah it's Slackware 7.1 vintage, all i had to do IIRC is uncomment the last line and add/replace my font.
