I use Envy Code B on Windows. The TrueType version of it can be used by X. Steps to install: 1. Copy 'Envy code B 10pt.ttf' to /usr/share/fonts/TTF 2. !! Rename the font so no spaces are in the file name !! 3. mkfontsel /usr/share/fonts/TTF 4. mfontdir /usr/share/fonts/TTF 5. xset fp rehash There's also Envy Code R -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts.
