I think Oscar is right (about gnome-terminal only supporting XFT fonts). For another suggestion for an alternate, you might consider multi-gnome-terminal (emerge multi-gnome-terminal) which is "based" on gnome-terminal, and has many more features (like session saving and history saving per terminal tab), despite being GTK-based rather than GTK2-based. I've just checked, and it does definitely accept font specifications in the form of -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*-r-* , so it might be more like what you're looking for. It's not quite perfect, but it's pretty close. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
