o.k., but I use emacs, not xemacs, though I don't really know what are
pros and cons of those two alternatives.

Well, found one site but the link to the patch is dysfunctional

Thanks for explaining that.
Seems I am stuck with more or less ugly fonts then. :-(
I did some google searching for good monospace fonts to use with
emacs. But basically I didn't get one step forward. "terminus" has
already been mentioned, but like I said, I don't like it better than my
monotype-courier new, which is only a sad compromise.
If someone still knows of good fixed width fonts for emacs, please, let
me know.
thanks again
Peter
