Yeah, I have heard of it and am installing it now.

Installed Uni3-TerminusBold16 and it seems to be displaying more
foreign characters than chavo, although it does remind of the early
personal computers in the '70s :-), ah nostalgia ...

I use fullscreen terminal (no borders around). I think it looks nice :)
I installed the same font to my solaris, linux and windows machines.

 Monaco.

The font families were named after cities, yeah now I remember.

 Tips? Get a mac. ;)

Had one, an SE30, based on the 68030, greata machine. Support - bloody
horrible, unless you had a fat wallet. Backwards compatibility - bloody
horrible, they make their money from the hardware. Frankly, they are
just too expensive.

A basic Mac mini starts at $600, which seems pretty reasonable to me 
(similar machines from Dell are $650, but come with a monitor, similar 
machines from HP are $550 and don't come with a monitor). Then again, 
you *can* get bargain-bin stuff for $350 from Dell.

To each their own, I suppose.

utf8 console font

2008-05-06 Thread Chris Bannister
Hi,

Just wondering which console font people are using in an utf8 locale.

Currently I am using chavo

less /etc/console-tools/config
[..]
SCREEN_FONT=chavo

That was aquired by apt-get install fonty-rq in Debian Etch

locale | grep LANG
LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8

Any tips?

Chris.
