It doesn't seem like a bad font, but I can't increase the size from
8 point. I use a high screen resolution so I use size 10 or 11
fonts. Usually font smoothing kicks in by then making them much
richer to look at. I currently use Lucida Console at size 10.

[Slightly OT] a fixed-width font for you to try out

2002-12-06 Thread MaXxX
Hello.

Lately, out of lack of a reasonable monospaced font, I decided to take a
whack at Softy the font editor, and create a font for my own use.

Thought I might as well share. The reason I'm not posting it to TBOT is
that I wouldn't want to trouble the regular users out there, while you,
fellow betatesters, are probably accustomed to trying out various
new-and-probably-not-quite-perfect things :P

So, here goes:  http://maxxx.is-a-geek.org/termx.fon

MaXxX, 

M Lately,  out  of lack of a reasonable monospaced font, I decided to
M take a whack at Softy the font editor, and create a font for my own
M use.

I  found  it  too  hard  to  read at high resolution - the letters all
seemed  to  run into each other. And the ' ` , characters were all too
abnormally   large  in  comparison  to  the  rest  of  the  characters
surrounding them.

I prefer Andale Mono at 9pt - i find it easier on the eyes than most.

If you update it, or make another one, make sure you post to the list,
cause I will check each one out.
