Hi,

I'm doing a lot of programming these days for my CS classes. I usually do that while I'm under X instead of the console, so that I can read stuff online and off of pdfs. Yet my laptop has a relatively high resolution, which makes it tough for me to read the standard fonts on my aterm. Do you have a good aterm configuration, well-suited for writing programs, such as a specific font or font size?

Thanks,
Berk

My recommendation is terminus font which is designed for long work.

Hi,

I emerged the above mentioned font, but somehow I can't see it when I do xfontsel. Do I have to restart some service to be able to use it? I thought there was a script called /etc/init.d/xft or something that dealt with fonts...
