I considered this a two step process, first figure out how to turn off AA (John prvided the solution to that: GDK_USE_XFT=0), then find the font that looks best with AA off. > Probably the best solution to your problem is to try to find a > traditional X11 bitmap font (I was always a fan of "fixed") and pray > that gtk+ and Gedit support it. Thats the problem, I don't think gtk+ supports bitmap fonts in the gtksourceview widget. At least Gedit doesn't give me the option of any bitmap fonts. > Google for Consolas, Inconsolata with Linux and you might find some > hits for those; they're pretty popular with the kids these days I've got Inconsolata installed, but was never able to use them in Nedit because Nedit didn't support TTF fonts. I've just tried it again with Gedit and with AA on, I actually prefer DejaSansMono. With AA off, they both suck.
