Can I change the font of terminal?

Question

I have a Un*x OS installed without desktop, I wonder if it is possible to change the font of terminal.

If you use the Linux console, the best way I found is:

in

/etc/default/console-setup

put, for example

CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="Lat7"
FONTFACE="Terminus"
FONTSIZE="28x14"

Another way is to use setfont:

setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/Lat7-Terminus28x14.psf

This works for my Debian; it may be different for you.

You could look at the following page.

It requires your OS to have framebuffer installed and enabled.
