|
|
I recently started using zsh and came across a nice prompt which uses ANSI extended chars. Unfortunately, most fonts ive found dont support those, and those that do support them are horribly ugly, so i was wondering if any of you would have a suggestion
The fonts need to be, obviously, nicely readable - especially for a terminal(aterm) in 1024x768
thanks in advance |

I use a font called vga11x19.pcf. You can find via Google. It has the ASCII line drawing characters and is large enough to read at 1024x768. HTH:) |

ah yeah they're nice only one problem...they take up half the screen i'll try and find a smaller version of them, thanks
edit: http://tigert.gimp.org/files/fonts/vga.pcf these are quite nice, yet reasonably sized |
