I agree: I hate terminus. For console/term apps on X, I use mrxvt and here is my .mrxvtrc: 8-< Mrxvt.xft: true Mrxvt.xftAntialias: true Mrxvt.xftAutoHint: true #Mrxvt.xftFont: bitstream vera sans mono Mrxvt.xftFont: dejavu sans mono Mrxvt.xftWeight: medium Mrxvt.xftWidth: normal Mrxvt.xftSize: 12 Mrxvt.background: #F6E7CF Mrxvt.showMenu: true 8-< so on my screen (1600x1200 @ 75 Hz), I use 12-pt dejavu sans mono medium. Its the best I found. However, 95% of what I do, I do from non-X console. In fact, I can do 95% of what I do on any slow computer on which I can install Linux/OpenBSD. Often, I access one of my computers from a real DEC VT220 (white on black model), which uses a standard PS/2 keyboard. I purchased it off eBay for $30. Paid more for 100' of serial cable and connectors :) Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
