This is a great tip! :-)
Especially when combined with "gnome-terminal". Finally "bitstream vera
sans mono" looks very nice and the font size can be varied in a very
flexible way. Moreover, colours can easily be dimmed or changed in other
ways thanks to all the easy settings of "gnome-terminal".
Well, I miss the mouse a little bit and the normal menu bar, but hey, it
isn't a tragic loss... Anyway I had used emacs before on a text console,
so it is not that much of a learning process.
Thanks as well to all the other posters and their font suggestions.
Peter
