Hi -- My eyes dont like working close to a computer screen, so i've been trying to get a decent (aprox.) 16 point font (fixed width) font for X11 R3. So far i've tried: fg-16 (not too good) vt2bdf screen.b.16 (ie: converting the sun bold 16point font -- this looks pretty bad, as the conversions dont go to well) vf2bdf screen.r.16 (this looked rather nice, but is too 'faint'). I've been using the last choice so far, but would really enjoy / appreciate a font that looks a little darker than this. Anyone have any good hints? - mike -- Mike Newton Caltech Submillimeter Observatory ex-communicated Pasadena President, POB 4339 / Hilo HI 96720 Beach Bums Anonymous 808 935 1909 (but not in the mornings) Mail: newton@csvax.caltech.edu Which is forwarded to: kahuna!newton@csvax.caltech.edu UUCP cit-vax!kahuna!newton "Reality is a lie that hasn't been found out yet..."

Hit the wrong key again, and *posted* rather than *killed* the buffer.
Oh well, might as well finish what I had to say:
How about hacking xmag to do the whole screen and then only
drawing in the middle? :-)
Now you see why I wanted to kill the message. Too stupid to be funny.

I put some fonts which I find ``nice'' on cheddar.cs.wisc.edu for public ftp in the file courier.tar.Z. These are fonts which I made under SunView and now enjoy under X11 (sorry, but they don't have the nice descriptive names ala X11, perhaps someone could figure out what they should be). dcm ps. cheddar is 128.105.2.113
