Proggy Fonts aka Programming Fonts: After blowing a couple of hours finding that period I thought was a comma, I have found and installed "Proggy Clean w/ Slashed Zero and Bold Punctuation". The difference is subtle, and yet, remarkable. The difference between ; and : as well as , and . is quite clear.

If those are too small, try Dina (http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=7857.0) which, while still bitmapped, has a couple of larger font sizes available.

More notes: You have to run fc-list to find the name of the font after you unzip the TTF file and put it into /usr/share/fonts/truetype and use it like xterm -fa PixelCarnageMonoTT. And those are some darn SMALL fonts. What I got when I tried this the first time was some other font.. Still not sure which one, that gets autoselected by xterm when you use the -fa switch and it can't find the font specified. It still works better than the default font.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
