I know that i can use the CRT unit. But it implements its own display
driver and i don't really like that. How can i get colored text in the
console on linux without having to use the CRT unit. I know in c/c++
you use some thing like this:

Code: C  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
printf("\033[1;31mbold red text\033[0m\n");
Will this also work with freepascal?

As long as your console understands these sequences, then you can do
the same:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
Writeln(#&33'[1;31mbold red text'#&33'[0m');
Alternatively there is the LazTermUtils unit by Warfley.
