Yep, I also tried to use Terminus fonts on newly installed OS2009.06 on my home laptop - and fonts were blurred no matter what I do. Still - it can be done, since on my work PC with 2008.11 -> 2009.06 upgraded, I use nice`n`smooth terminus fonts with no blurring. Problem is - I forgot, how I managed to do this :) Maybe xfontsel shamanism solved my problems, but I wonder why simple way with ~/.fonts doesn`t work well... -- With respect, Nik Maslov
