Does anybody have any nice looking screen fonts for the Sun? I've recently started playing with the window systems, since I've now got one of these beasts on my desk. So I've looked at Suntools, X, and NeWS. They have mostly the same fonts. They are various sizes of dreadfulness. I can't decide whether screen or gacha is more unreadable. Unfortunately most of the nice fonts are variable width, which means they can't be used for the most common applications. The only fixed width fonts I've seen that are worth anything are Courier (in both X and NeWS) and the old Gallant font (which appears to be the font used by the Sun ROM monitor). However Courier is a bit too light for my tastes (the bold version is both too bold and not quite properly spaced), and Gallant comes only in 19 point. Surely somebody's got to have some other alternatives.
