Re: [gentoo-user] 6x13 font for gnome-terminal
I think gnome-terminal only can handle xft-fonts (and that's probably a feature)... Have you considered trying some older (and not so user friendly) terminal? rxvt, xterm, urxvt and aterm are all pretty nice, memory efficent and fast, and you can do everything in them that you could in gnome-terminal (well, almost) :-) Oscar Saturday 23 July 2005 00.24 skrev Allan Gottlieb: All my screens are 1600x1200 pixels.

For another suggestion for an alternate, you might consider multi-gnome-terminal (emerge multi-gnome-terminal) which is based on gnome-terminal, and has many more features (like session saving and history saving per terminal tab), despite being GTK-based rather than GTK2-based. I've just checked, and it does definitely accept font specifications in the form of -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*-r-* , so it might be more like what you're looking for. It's not quite perfect, but it's pretty close. Thank you all for these suggestions. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
