Personally, I like Consolas but that's a Windows font so you may not want to make use of it. A nice alternative is Inconsolata (http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html) -- Steve When one person suffers from a delusion it is insanity.

I don't know what you find readable, but I use the Liberation fonts for most situations (Liberation Mono in this case).

Ubuntu Mono is a TrueType font; I don't think xfontsel displays TrueType fonts. For Emacs 23, you can set the font via the menubar (Options>Set Default Font...). Click on Options>Save Options to save the setting for the next time you start Emacs. For xterm, I'm not sure. There are references to TrueType in the man page, so you could check there. Also, Googling for xterm truetype brought up several hits that look like they might help you. mike -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

True, according to man xterm (I hadn't known where to look until I came across the "faceName" stuff in the links at the bottom of my post): faceName (class FaceName) Specify the pattern for scalable fonts selected from the FreeType library if support for that library was compiled into xterm. There is no default value. If not specified, or if there is no match for both normal and bold fonts, xterm uses the bitmap font and related resources. It is possible to select suitable bitmap fonts using a script such as this: #!/bin/sh FONT=`xfontsel -print` test -n "$FONT" && xfd -fn "$FONT" However (even though xfd accepts a “-fa†option to denote FreeType fonts), xfontsel has not been similarly extended. As a workaround, you may try fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: family to find a list of scalable fixed-pitch fonts which may be used for the faceName resource value. > For Emacs 23, you can set the font via the menubar (Options>Set Default > Font...).
