You again. ft2 not here (ImageMagick .. gm not installed), but
cairo etc, thanks!

Indeed.

Unfortunately not, this is the only monospace font i have, and
i was so happy to have found one that fits for me! Sigh.
(In general i only have Liberation{Serif,Sans,Mono},
Free{Sans,Serif} and CrimsonXY, but de facto i only use
Liberation.
Do you have a suggestion?
Thanks Ralph.
