Actually the fonts-hack package doesn't exist here. I do find, however: fonts-hack-otf - Typeface designed for source code, OpenType fonts fonts-hack-ttf - Typeface designed for source code, TrueType fonts fonts-hack-web - Typeface designed for source code, Web fonts fonts-go is good to go, though. I'm personally using andale in an xterm and have no problems distinguishing between the l as in Louise and the 1 as in wonderful. (I must've installed the Microsoft ttf core fonts quite a while back, because my memory of that event is vague. I was unaware of the existence of fonts-hack* until a moment ago.) -- When you have fever you are heavy and light, you are small and swollen, you climb endlessly a ladder which turns like a wheel. --Jean Rhys, Voyage in the Dark
