How can i get light green ansi code and get bigger font for ruby?

Question

printf "\033[1;32;40mGreen text on black background.\033[0m\n"

That is the green, but how can i get light green or other variation of color?

http://pueblo.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/ansi_color_codes.html , are only those color available for gnome-terminal as escape code?

Also how can i get bigger font with ruby?

Answer 1

using the "1" as the first parameter, as you are doing already, that's as "light" a green as you're going to get. this guy's webpage might be helpful: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/May2004/article335.shtml

testing on urxvt:

[added later] there is a DEC extension for double-sized characters: Printing double-size characters with Ncurses but urxvt doesn't support it, I don't know about Gnome terminal.
