10.3: Using the Monaco font in xterm post-upgrade
oddly enough, on my system, using 'xterm -fa monaco' results in a somewhat large but very nice looking fixed width font.
10.3: Using the Monaco font in xterm post-upgrade
My all-time favourite fixed-width X11 fonts are Sun's "screen" and "serif" in their largest sizes, that is,
-sun-screen-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-m-90-iso8859-1
and -sun-serif-medium-r-normal-serif-16-160-72-72-m-90-iso8859-1.
I'm not sure where to get these directly, but Sun does offer non-commercial-use Solaris for free, so there's probably a way to download them, if only as part of a larger package. Note that these are bitmap-only.
I've actually been using Terminal more often now, since I noticed that middle-click works as in X. My current favourite fixed-width scalable font, as far as on-screen legibility is concerned, is Bitstream's Prestige, which IIRC I got with some Corel thing a million years ago; there are other Prestiges out there - it was popular on typewriters - but they're too spindly.

I've been using them for a while now and they've really grown on me, plus they're open source. The Vera collection contains a great fixed width font and a nice sans-serif verdana-like font. Rick |
