Hi, Vidiot,
Thanks for the continuing help on getting my fonts right. I have
another question. I tried to change my default xterm font to Verdana,
but it comes out looking like there's a space between each character,
making the xterm ridiculously wide. I notice that I don't have this
problem if I use any of the "fixed" fonts. Is there a way to eliminate
the appearance of extra space between characters in non-fixed fonts?
Thanks,
Hidong
