Yeah - whichever console font is legible for you, looks good (for some of us, the style of 'g' in certain 'Times' fonts is unpleasant), and [ most importantly ] can render all the glyphs you wish to use. People who need to render CJK glyphs will have to use an xterm or similar [ on linux, a console font can display 256 glyphs maximum, or 512 without bright colours ]. ĸen, currently using my LatGrkCyr fonts (available in 'kbd') - but this is very much a question of individual taste. -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce
