Oleg and Raul,
I have found a problem with using the suggested font
in terminal. You may recall that in another thread I told
Raul that there must be something wrong with his example
construction of triangles for openGL. It turns out that the
reason I thought there was an error is that I happened to
use the only terminal I have configured on my Mac with the
new font specificiation; the result is that all of the
underscores for negative signs do not appear. It was only
when I tried to cut and paste the result into a reply to
Raul that the underscores reappeared. Without the
underscores, the output looks like many repeated rows.

+
+
+ There is a nice font called DejaVu Sans Mono.
+ http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/
+ It looks better than the standard Monaco and far better
+ than Courier New with optimal sizes of 11-13.
+
+ It is based on Bitstream Vera fonts known in the
+ Open Source world, and extended to include
+ natioanal Unicode and Box Drawing characters.
+
+ Procedure to install
+ - download the zip file
+ - extract font files, one is enough: DejaVuSansMono.ttf (the fixed pitch
regular)
+ - Install (drag to /Users/user/Library/Fonts/ or double-clik and choose
Install)
+ - Exist J, Run J again
+ - Select the font in Configure dialog
+ - Exist J, Run J again
+ - try <"0 i.3 4
+
+ Note: naturally some hierogliphics and box drawing
+ do not mix well, as the former may come from a different font.

+
+
+ The p beta for Mac (darwin) is available at:
+ http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j601pbeta_darwin.tar.gz
+
+ Most problems discussed in the forum have been addressed.
+
+ The command key now runs the menu shortcuts.
+
+ All platforms except for the Mac now have nice box draw characters.
+ There isn't a standard fixed pitch font with box draw characters in a
+ standard Mac OSX install. Can anyone provide information on a proper
+ font that can be easily and freely downloaded that will work on the Mac?
