Bigger misc-fixed fonts
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I really like look of the 'misc' font family on my laptop.
I use the biggest one available: Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1.
However, my desktop PC has an UHD display and this font is totally unreadable. Are there any fixed-style fonts that are approximately 1.5 times larger than that one, or is there a viable way to resize them?
Please don't recommend Terminus as I don't want to use that font.
Thanks in advance.

Which distro? In my Ubuntu, I can select hundreds of fonts and only in rare cases can it happen that none fulfills what I want.

I'm using Deban. I want to use fixed fonts cause they look the best for me. However the biggest misc font size is 10x20 which is too small for me.

There are monospaced fonts from rpmdejavu-sans-mono-fontsor presumably packagefonts-dejavu-corewhich allow you to do e.g.xterm -fa 'mono:normal:size=60'for huge fonts.

Yes, that worked, but is there any version of bdfedit that can scale by float value (e.g. 1.5)? 2 is too big and smaller fonts looks bad. I will write steps soon.

Offhand (looking at the results from xlsfonts on my local machine), the adobe-courier has some larger fonts, though some people dislike its appearance:
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-m-200-iso10646-1
You could also use the "unscaled" tweak in your font configuration, with the caveat that scaled bitmap fonts don't look as good as the originals.
Further reading:
Fonts in X11R7.5, which mentions:unscaled(not much detail, but documentation is not a forte of Xorg...)
