First, (I like your comment on Unix being selective regarding who it's friends are), bash has the easy facility called "set" which when invoked from $ spills out all the variable environment settings it is using for the terminal, or console you are working from. It may not be the answer, but merely a step to it.
I know about "set". :)
Second, you might want to reconsider running x11.
I think you've misunderstood the reason for the question. My actual goal is to have a screenshot of "the text console", to put in a book. It is not to decide what the best way to run a desktop is.
Any one of these ways would work, what will matter will be the goal to which you are aiming. I'm not sure that the designers of Unix developed these character based apps with pixel collection, analysis or review in mind, what nearly 40-50 years ago? You may have to relegate yourself to hex, and really like it.
Uh-huh. Well, that brings up the obvious question: Is the console font in Darwin the same as any standard X bitmap font? -s _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
