 14	help
 15	  Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
 16	  your frame buffer console usually use.
 17
 18	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
 19	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
 20	  the questions about foreign fonts.
 21
 22	  If unsure, say N (the default choices are safe).

 28	help
 29	  This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
 30	  provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).
 31
 32	  Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
 33	  lot more readable.
 34
 35	  Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N
 36	  here is safe.

 51	help
 52	  Small console font with Macintosh-style high-half glyphs.  Some Mac
 53	  framebuffer drivers don't support this one at all.
 54
 55config FONT_7x14
 56	bool "console 7x14 font (not supported by all drivers)" if FONTS
 57	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
 58	help
 59	  Console font with characters just a bit smaller than the default.
 60	  If the standard 8x16 font is a little too big for you, say Y.
 61	  Otherwise, say N.

 86	help
 87	  Medium-size console font. Suitable for framebuffer consoles on
 88	  embedded devices with a 320x240 screen, to get a reasonable number
 89	  of characters (53x24) that are still at a readable size.
 90
 91config FONT_10x18
 92	bool "console 10x18 font (not supported by all drivers)" if FONTS
 93	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
 94	help
 95	  This is a high resolution console font for machines with very
 96	  big letters. It fits between the sun 12x22 and the normal 8x16 font.
 97	  If other fonts are too big or too small for you, say Y, otherwise say N.

109	  This is the high resolution console font for Sun machines with very
110	  big letters (like the letters used in the SPARC PROM). If the
111	  standard font is unreadable for you, say Y, otherwise say N.

116	help
117	  Terminus Font is a clean, fixed width bitmap font, designed
118	  for long (8 and more hours per day) work with computers.
119	  This is the high resolution, large version for use with HiDPI screens.
120	  If the standard font is unreadable for you, say Y, otherwise say N.
