Hi,

Where would this sysctl needed to be documented  for the OP to find it?

Ronald

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a smaller font in my text-consoles (using vt) on my Ryzen 4700 and Vega10 Renoir - based laptop with a fresh install of FreeBSD CURRENT from last week.

UEFI or BIOS setup?

 With UEFI, sc and hw.vga.textmode has no effect. With UEFI or 
BIOS+hw.vga.textmode=0, you can set screen.font variable (empty value will 
cause the values list to be printed), or use loadfont command with your custom 
font file (created with vtfontcvt).


I added 'screen.font="8x16"' to /boot/loader.conf, worked like a charm first time.
Many thanks!
Michael

You are welcome.
