The base size has certainly increased well beyond the original rxvt. The total size seems to be from the transparency support. One thing that surprised me in collecting the data was noting the terminals which are mostly implemented as libraries. Their main programs can be quite small. -- Thomas E.

On the subject of unicode, can anyone recommend a good terminal font that includes all (or most) unicode characters? If I'm not mistaken unicode coverage can be achieved by combining several fonts using fontconfig[1]. The good start would be to combine DejaVu Sans Mono with some CJK font of your choice. [1] This is where xterm sucks, it can only use normal + double-width font. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
