It seems to me that the letters in the default X text font are too
small (and may be harmful after long hours of use?), while the
next larger font (9x15) results in an ugly overly wide 24x80 xterm
window. I've tried using some of the fancy new fonts, and although
some of them result in pretty characters that are easy to read,
text updates are slow, and the non-fixed spacing yields strange
effects, like seeing what you type appear far away from the end of
the shell prompt. I think the SunView default font is just about
the right size, not too small or too big/wide. Is there any way to
get an snf file for the default SunView font? Any other suggestions
on choosing comfortible font sizes? Thanks!
