Howdy! I don't really like "Monaco" for Terminal. I don't really like "vt100". I want something that was designed to look good in the right proportion for an 80 x 24 "terminal" screen. Are you using another font that you really like? If so - please hit the <Reply> button and tell me what it is and if possible where you got it. Thanks very much. -- Daniel MacKay Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada >> Stay informed about: Good font for Terminal

(Not at my mac, so I'm not sure off the top of my head which one, size, weight). With antialiasing turned on. The serifs make it easier to read longer passages of text, but it's still monospaced. I find I make a lot of use of the cmd-+ and cmd-- keys to increase or decrease the font size depending on if I'm working entirely in the one terminal or if I have several that I'm moving between or several other apps or windows open. Those two keys are very helpful. -- Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks. The rest gets trashed.

I think Monaco looks pretty good, AFTER you turn on antialiasing in terminal (off by default, for some inexplicable reason). -- Randy Howard (2reply remove FOOBAR) "I don't really care about being right you know, I just care about success." --Steve Jobs<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Good font for Terminal
