WSFONTLOAD(8)		 BSD System Manager's Manual		 WSFONTLOAD(8)

NAME
     wssetfont - Set the font for a wscons display device

SYNOPSIS
     wssetfont [-c cfgdev] [-t ttydev] [name | -s slot]

DESCRIPTION
     The wssetfont utility set the specified console to use a font previously
     loaded with the wsfontload(8) utility. The font is specified either by
     name or by using the -s slot option.

     The options are as follows:

     -c cfgdev
	     Specify the control device of the wscons display to operate on.
	     Default is /dev/ttyCcfg.

     -t ttydev
	     Specify the name of the tty console device to operate on. Default
	     is the current console, i.e. the terminal device currently open
	     on STDIN, as would be returned by tty(1).

     -s slot
	     Specify to use the font currently loaded in slot.

     If neither a name or the -s slot option are given, the built in font for
     the device will be used.

EXAMPLES
	   # wsfontload -N myfont -e iso /usr/share/misc/pcvt/vt220l.816
	   # wssetfont -t /dev/ttyC0 myfont

     Load a font from the pcvt directory, and set the first console to use
     this font.

	   # wssetfont

     Set the current console back to the default built in font.

SEE ALSO
     wscons(4), wsconscfg(8), wsconsctl(8), wsfontload(8)

HISTORY
     wssetfont appeared in MirOS #8.

BUGS
     If two fonts are given the same name when loaded, and both are valid for
     the current screen type, the first font will always be chosen, even if
     the -s slot option is used.

     Some devices may support the use of multiple fonts; this utility does not
     provide a method of setting more than one font for a given device.
