it's almost trivial, but a little bit boring. i am using therm-0.0 now
and started therm-1.0 which will have a modular design. right now my
plan is (my plans change a lot) to make therm (any other names?) an
extremely good/generic terminal with chances to dominate the world by
first bringing the happines of anti-aliased truetype/postscript fonts
to the console, and second by doing the same on any framebuffer
console or window environment. then people will have to be aware of
ggi and ggi will be on the spotlight again. and then someone will tile
one terminal over a bunch of screens and the world will surrender! ha
ha ha!
on a related note, all i can say is that cmtt10 rules for the screen!
i tried microsoft's andale (widely acclaimed as one of the best screen
monospaced fonts) and some other stuff, but cmtt10 wins hands down. i
think this weekend i'll register therm at sourceforge and release
version 0 so that people can try it out.
but before i register, are you people happy with the name `therm'?
