The problem is that due to some contraints (such as small screen), the fixed font is hardly replaceable. Well, at least I couldn't find a font that has the same width and that is readable enough. > At least here, setting the font to say "Mono-9" via "-f Mono-9", or > something similar in .emacs works fine for now. Here "Mono-9" gives a font that is less readable than "fixed" when accented characters are used (which occur very often in French). Another problem with "Mono-9" is that the digit "1" and the letter "l" look very similar (only one pixel is changed); this is a major problem in programming languages. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
