[ale] super tiny console fonts?

[Hogg, Russell E]

I once was trying to do something similar with a large ASCII art image.
I found  a style sheet one the web somewhere that set the font size for the <PRE> tag very small..


Worked like a charm..


Perhaps the same would work for you with a little HTML and some cutting and pasting?

Use Xterm at full-screen with the smallest fonts possible.
