Well, there's only so many monospace fonts that are beautiful, reasonably unicode-complete, easy on the eyes, programming-friendly AND free (-ish). Also, the default for the most popular terminal emulators on Linux (e.g. xterm, rxvt) is actually a bitmap font. > Finally, 15% seem to be using horrid bitmap console fonts. _How can you > stand to look at them?!?!_ (Don't worry, you'll have Plush soon enough...) > Controversial topic there, tread carefully ;) . Lots of folks are borderline militant when it comes to their terminal fonts, whether they're bitmapped or not. Also, white-on-black vs. black-on-white seems to be an emotionally-charged question. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
