Why? What I needed was a terminal with truetype fonts on linux
framebuffer, I'm not sure how dvtm can help. The tag management of
fbpad is very minimal and was an afterthought; "fbpad is a framebuffer
virtual terminal that uses libfreetype to render fonts". But yes it is
a virtual terminal and as I've mentioned before, you can run dvtm inside
it if you want tiled layouts.
