In my case it's the same several machines used with the same screens. The only change was the local operating system. From drawterm on OpenBSD I thought vera was very nice (and used it for around a year); in Plan 9 native on the same machine vera looks blurry. I realize this is subjective to a certain extent, but that's precisely the problem: I sees what I sees. Note: I don't really understand the way graphics are put on screen in either operating system. -sl
