[comp.sys.sgi] Default Console Font

jman@PICA.ARMY.MIL ("Jim J. Man", FSAC) (08/24/90)

info,
      How can I set the default font and font size for my console window.
The window starts out with a courier font with size 10 which is small, and
hard to read, so that each time I log in I have to change it. 
I believe it has something to do with the startup.ps file but I haven't 
been able to figure it out. I'm using an IRIS 4D machine.

Put something like the following in your user.ps file:

 % Customize console
 %
 /RunConsole {
     (/etc/gl/startconsole -fCrr18.fm -s82,41 -C2,0,6,4 -t"Jim_J._Man__jman__console") forkunix
 } store
 (console) 10 12 preforigin

You may be able to get spaces instead of underscores in the
title, but I've never been able to figure that out.
