This, to my knowledge, isn't a BASH issue, but a terminal issue. If you're using X windows you can use any of the available xfonts for your xterm. Just pick one you like, using, for example, the xfontsel application and start your xterm like: xterm -fn 'font name from xfontsel' or you can put it in your ~/.Xresources like: xterm*font: font name from xfontsel a specific example would be something like: xterm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* You'll have to reread your resources if you go with the latter route, either by logging out and back in again or by using xrdb. If you're not using X then it's going to depend on the console driver and, while I believe there are ways to change it, I'm not familiar with them. Gary
