Thanks to everyone for the responses. Again I apologize for re-opening this OT thread. I'm very intrigued now, as several of the respondees are in very similar circumstances.

Re: Fixing font spacing in Terminal.app

I thought the Monaco 9 font was incredibly hard to read in the Terminal app, so I changed it to Courier New and upped the size to 12. At 12:25 PM -0500 1/7/03, Chris Devers wrote: >That is, it's much nicer, everything seems to run faster and there's a lot >more polish to many of the system applica

The Jaguar upgrade went fairly smooth for me. I didn't have to do too much tweaking and re-customization. I mainly moved to Jaguar for a speed increase, and to fix various bugs, especially regarding Windows-related things at the office. My PowerBook remains at 10.1.5 though, since Jaguar won't

Fixing font spacing in Terminal.app

Hi, I upgraded to Jaguar this weekend and was annoyed to find that Terminal.app had screwed up the horizontal font spacing in my setup. I'm no font layout snob, but for some reason this was really annoying - using Monaco 9, there was a column of pixels missing between columns 1 and 2 of text,
