A very quick one: cd /usr/share/consolefonts for x in *gz; do printf '\e[33m%s\e[0m\nReady?' "$x"; read z; setfont "$x"; echo "That was $x"; done On some fonts it says 'There are more than one, use -8 -16 or something option to setfont'.

I suppose gnome-font-browser understands only ttf or similiar fonts. Not console ones... I may be wrong. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by "grep -i virus $MESSAGE" Trust me.
