I use "-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*-r-*" for gnome-terminal, except when I run mutt. For that I have a short shell script that calls gnome-terminal with a larger, more readable font "-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*-r-*". When running xtgerm, I use the default font, which is a little small, but it's sans serif and fairly readable. Tony -- Anthony E.
