Hey James, You are brave to bring up such a subject.
Of the zillion fonts I have tried, only Droid Sans looks the best at smaller text sizes. Of course there are bitmap fonts which are readable at 8x8 but I figured you'd want something a little more scalable and useable across other systems. Lucida Sans Unicode (unicode.7.font) looks really nice in acme too. Good luck (no really :), Lee On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 4:39 PM, James A.
