I want to find a pretty font to replace default font of xterm.

Please give me a suggestion: what font? where does download it?

Since I can't get Monaco 9 to not be anti-aliased, Terminus.

I'm addicted to Lucida Console that is available in every Windows XP - you can just copy it from Windows/Fonts folder to your Nokia (as explained multiple times on forum) and it looks just nice.
But still I'm going to test Terminus, as it looks really readable.

Okay, so I have the Terminus Font folder on my internal memory card:
/media/mmc2/terminus-font-4.20

What do I type in exactly using Xterm to transfer this folder to where it needs to be so that I can select this as my primary font? I'm using OS 2008.

Thanks guys!

That font isn't prebuilt. You want the ttf from somewhere.

Two links for this font.

http://amip.tools-for.net/ds/dl.php?...s-2.0-beta.zip
http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/TerminusRe33-Bold.ttf

The second looks much better in my opinion.

put them in a folder called /home/user/.fonts (don't miss the dot - you will have to create this in xterm {mkdir .fonts})
After a reboot they will be available for use.

Awesomeness rcull!

So you're saying that I need to type in Xterm:
cp /media/mmc2/TerminusRe33-Bold.ttf /home/user/.fonts

I'm not understanding this though...
you will have to create this in xterm {mkdir .fonts}
Could you please explain this to me in a nutshell?

I sure would appreciate that if you would.
