[oclug] Re: TTY frustration

[Mike Sowka]

Hello,
For those interested:
Well, I MAY have finally found the ?last? "offending" script.... ! ( /me
crosses his fingers ):

commenting out unicode_start in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh does the trick...
The above script uses setfont...

NOTE: All the "hacks" mentioned are probably not the right way to go
about this... if there are any gurus out there that know how to properly
change resolution/fonts on a RH install, please let me know.

Thank You,
Mike
