Enlarge the font sizes of the boot process - both GRUB & after GRUB (tty)

[handy]

I'm a long way from my research on all of this stuff - quite a few years have gone by...

I think you are going to have to do the first part of the how-to, which is choose the font that you want to use that has the size that you want to use & then convert the font into the GRUB compatible format.

Do all of the first post & you should be good. :)

[edit:] Just noticed how old this post is. Sorry about that.

Reviving an old thread but I just saw this and wanted to quickly thank you. I want to use your tutorial to go the opposite direction; make my fonts smaller. I mainly use smaller laptops and the bigger fonts look hideous, plus I'm seeing if I can try and replicate the absolutely gorgeous, crisp, clean startup I had on MX15

You're lucky the thread is still alive, older threads like this can die.

It's a shame. There's that saying: "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... "

Yeahhhh.. one could also repost a good tip, after 5 years that would be ok. :)

Having thought MX17 was one of the best versions... ( replaced by the AMAZING mx19 !... and then once again improved by mx21 and now MX23 !) .. I HAD to download and check out mx15 after your comment.

And I was SHOCKED by how fast and crisp it was! You are spot on about how it was!!

And NOW... I must have rounded corners and the speed demon in me says I have to figure out how to get THAT performance on 21 or 23. ( I am still hanging onto 21 as I personally think I like it better.. that will change over time I am sure, but for now... :- )

Here's a link to my oldest post:
viewtopic.php?t=60577

It's about my move from MX15 to MX19.2 and how much I miss the clean boot and how irritated I am by the "Grub loading .... Welcome to Grub!'

I managed to solve that issue but here I am so many years later having the same withdrawal symptoms thinking about moving to MX23

Interesting.. thank you! I have saved this under "The Silent Grub" and will be revisiting it as soon as I have time.

I have decided I am sticking with mx21 for a bit, and going to gain more knowledge about systemd ... kicking or screaming.. I see handwriting on the wall and am going to be proactive on this one.
