A nice little improvement in Slackware-current: rc.font now supports automatic font sizing and configuration through /etc/default/rc.font.
I used it to set my Linux console to UW ttyp0, the same font family I enjoy in xterm:
FONT=WET-Ttyp0Regular22x11
Looks great on my laptop. Small details make a difference. 🙂
