It's nice. I also like this one (currently using it on Aterm): -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1 It looks "sharp and smooth" although it doesn't use antialiasing. >Although, to be honest, pterm doesn't strike me as phenomenally >different than other terminal apps.

[ That's the only bit I enjoy on a Win* system: a fast, configurable 80x24 VT even with nice antialiased fonts :-) ] Uh, and I was recently told that TeraTerm can set up ssh tunnels "dynamicly" (no reconnection needed); that would be a killer too... -- Cristian Gutierrez http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/~crgutier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "I offer you a new vision of Hell: Watching an entire ISO committee trying to agree on what wine to have with their meal." -- Tanuki the Raccoon-dog, ASR -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
