I do use puppy to configure or install other distros as well as work in non-X environments with puppy on systems with low mem and/or low cpu power and when usage of
Code: Select all

I'm searching for a solution prior to start of X with xwin. All solutions I found while searching the forums and using google were not helpful in any way, always using rxvt in a started X environment and of no use to solve my problem.
The reason why I need to change the font is easy. I may want to choose a font I use on my gentoo system like default8x9 instead of default8x16.
And I may want to use a different layout for VGA=ask when booting, I often use 80x60 (80 chars on 60 lines) instead of the standard 80x25 (80 chars on 25 lines), results in more lines of text displayed on my laptop window.
Sometimes I use
Code: Select all
less ...
Code: Select all
cat ...
Sometimes this results in a destroyed font or keymap in the current CLI, please view the attached pic to see what I mean.
I need a solution to reset the font/keymap in the appropriate CLI terminal other than rebooting the system.
Even though I have configured my puppy to use more terminals when starting the system, losing one or two terminals is quite annoying.
When being in the middle of configuring a new system a restart of puppy is not the solution I have in mind. And killing the terminal doesn't help either, I already tried that
Code: Select all
kill -9 <Process-ID of terminal>
Can anybody help me find a solution or have one handy?
A bump in the right correction may also be of help.
