2019-03-19 06:35:39 Po-Hsu Lin description [CONFIG] please enable highdpi font FONT_TER16x32 This is now available in v5.0 config/config.common.ubuntu:# CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32 is not set https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/lib/fonts/Kconfig?id=ac8b6f148fc97e9e10b48bd337ef571b1d1136aa == Justification == The console font size on a high resolution screen is only suitable for eagles, although we can choose a bigger font by running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup But that is not enough, the font size before video driver kicks in is still small. If we need to debug some early stage issues that will be a problem. == Fix == ac8b6f14 (Fonts: New Terminus large console font) Config for this TER16x32 and the compiled-in fonts support needs to be enabled to keep engineers away from ophthalmologists. * Disco It's already there. Just need to enable the configs. * Cosmic / Bionic Patch can be cherry-picked. * Xenial It needs an extra patch to make it a clean cherry-pick: * 7bcae826 (lib/fonts/Kconfig: keep non-Sparc fonts listed together * Trusty It needs two extra patches to make it a clean cherry-pick: * fonts: Add 6x10 font (33ac9dba) * lib/fonts/Kconfig: keep non-Sparc fonts listed together (7bcae826). And a config entry for the 6x10 font. Commit "fonts: Add 6x10 font" is just adding a new font. Commit "lib/fonts/Kconfig: keep non-Sparc fonts listed together" is just a patch for context rearrangement. I think these two are safe to be pulled-in. == Test == Test kernels: http://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1819881-font/ Add "fbcon=font:TER16x32" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub, and follow these steps. * Disco sudo update-grub; sudo reboot * Cosmic / Bionic Add "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=3840x2160" to /etc/default/grub sudo update-grub; sudo reboot * Xenial sudo update-grub; sudo reboot * Trusty sudo update-grub; sudo reboot (I need the proprietary nvidia driver to boot for my SUT - Dell Precision M3800) The font before the video driver kicks in will get bigger. == Regression potential == Minimal, changes are limited to adding console fonts, turn on fonts related kernel configs. [CONFIG] please enable highdpi font FONT_TER16x32 This is now available in v5.0 config/config.common.ubuntu:# CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32 is not set https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/lib/fonts/Kconfig?id=ac8b6f148fc97e9e10b48bd337ef571b1d1136aa
