The VGA font is needed if you're running applications that use the
|
|
IBMPC character set. If a via font is not installed on your system,
|
|
you may like to use the one supplied in the konsole/other directory.
|
|
|
|
Most notably, you need this font if you want to run a Linux console
|
|
or like to connect to an ANSI BBS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the font proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
cp konsole/other/vga.pcf.gz /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
|
|
mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
|
|
|
|
To run a Linux console emulation within konsole, choose the
|
|
VGA font from the Options/Font menu. Within a shell, type
|
|
|
|
export TERM=linux
|
|
|
|
to make applications aware of the emulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many character oriented applications were written with the linux
|
|
console as the platform in mind, and although many of them do well
|
|
when run in xterm emulation (which is konsole's default), don't
|
|
look as pleasant as the original.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the application, you might need to switch to dark
|
|
background, too, for the best results.
|
|
|
|
Please note that those applications may not react properly on
|
|
changing the window size. Mouse handling in mc is known not to
|
|
work when run with TERM=linux in an xterminal, because of a
|
|
bug in mc itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/src/linux
|
|
make menuconfig
|
|
|
|
for a pleasing view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The central lack of konsole for a proper support of the linux
|
|
console emulation are the functions keys (F1-F10). Support for
|
|
the linux console emulation will be improved in a future version
|
|
of konsole.
