[comp.windows.x] good fonts for xterm

djb@cbnews.ATT.COM (David J. Bryant) (12/01/88)

I wasn't happy squinting at the tiny xterm fonts either, so I used the
'vtobdf' tool from R2 to convert the Sun screen fonts (which I like very
much) from vfont format to bdf.  You'll find 'vtobdf' in contrib/fonts/utils
in R3 (along with 'xfed' and other handy font tools...)

Yes, I like the Sun screen fonts too.  On my Sun BW2, they're a lot easier to
read than comparably sized Courier fonts.
