The "vga" font is included in the "dosemu"-Package. A "vga13x19" (or something like this) comes with "bitchx", but is too big for most peoples needs. To change the font for Eterm, use "Eterm -F fontname". ( IIRC it's documented as "-fn" somewhere?!? ) In the console you can use "setfont" to change to some of the fonts installed in "/usr/share/consolefonts/*". I don't know where to get a "cp437..." from, but "cp850..." is at least a bit better for ANSIs than my default iso-fonts. Disabling "setfont" in the startup-scripts might help. (I didn't try.) CU
