o.k., but I use emacs, not xemacs, though I don't really know what are pros and cons of those two alternatives. > GNU Emacs certainly doesnʼt have it in CVS, but it may have a patch kicking > around.

Seems I am stuck with more or less ugly fonts then. :-( I did some google searching for good monospace fonts to use with emacs. But basically I didn't get one step forward. "terminus" has already been mentioned, but like I said, I don't like it better than my monotype-courier new, which is only a sad compromise. If someone still knows of good fixed width fonts for emacs, please, let me know. thanks again Peter _______________________________________________ Info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
