^ It's a beauty. Has a bit of all the great 'modern' fonts, stylish and easy on the eyes. Thanks for the tip :)

^ Yes, my kind of font: simple, but elegant. Use it now on my website and on the few GTK things I have around.

Currently using bitbuntu by ninjaaron in both terminal and gtk.

^ ttf or otf fonts only, why not bitmap. I tried otf2bdf, just doesn't give a useful final product. Anyone else have success using otf2bdf?

Shame on me. I discovered the beauty of Monaco.

Looks pretty in fbterm. Put this in your ~/.fbtermrc

Code: Select all
