10.3: Using the Monaco font in xterm post-upgrade
Authored by: kps on Jan 30, '04 01:02:25PM
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.
