After looking at your fonts and reading the remarks, and some RTFM-ing,I got to the following conclusions: 1-As long as I am using xterm, I am limited to the fixed font. This answers, probably, the second question raised in my letter and echoed by Didi. Question: what kind of terminal must one use to get good rendering of the ttf fonts ? 2-After playing a lot with xfontsel, I found out that, above a certain minimum size, clarity and distinguishability are my main requirements. Beauty comes second. I chosed therefore fn '-*-*-bold-r-*-*-25-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1' (A lucinda font in my case) and the -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-iso8859-8 suggested by Didi for Hebrew.
I must therefore use two kinds of teminals, like I use two different .vimrc's (one with linelength limitations for mail, and one without, for scripts) and two .octaverc (one for current work and one, when the graphs should be prepared for publication). I guess that the use of unicode would allow me to use only one type of terminal (I use mainly English and Hebrew. Very rarely German, French and my native Romanian. I forgot long ago the little Russian that I've learned half a century ago). This does not make a big difference, but I would appreciate some pointer to RTFM.
