Good Xterm Fonts for C Programming
Hi, I know I am asking a subjective question here, but still I think I may get a response that fits very well into my style :-) I am using cygwin + xterm to login to a linux box. I am currently working on C codes. I have experimented a lot with Xfontsel and found -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* to be the kind of font that I can possibly use. But even this is not upto the mark. 1) Can somebody suggest me some good fonts on the basis of experience, something that is good to read/write C codes? 2) I believe Courier OR Fixed fonts should be good, any inputs? Thanks in Advance, Ajay. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

[RIC] [RIC] I find lucida console acceptable, preferring a personal hack of LettrGoth10. Others prefer fonts such as consolas, lucida typewriter, or even proportional fonts such as Arial. I suggest you search on the net... there are 1001 fonts out there and many can be used for this. What you prefer is very much up to you.

It's not for everyone, but I still love the old school 8x16 font. It's a little large, not resizable, and a little quirky, but the characters are quite distinct. Works well with higher resolution displays. HTH, Mike
