Where is the console (TTY) font set?
by pepperslq from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QDKV)
Running Debian testing (systemd) - after upgrading my Nvidia drivers, xorg wouldn't start, so I purged everything nvidia related and installed an older version of the Nvidia driver. That fixed the xorg starting problem.
But when I rebooted, the console font had changed (the TTY console, not terminal run in a window inside xorg). Now it's a different font, and much sharper than the earlier console font.
So that got me wondering how downgrading a driver would change the console font. Where is the actual console font set, and how can I see the font name and size?
