Hi -- My eyes dont like working close to a computer screen, so i've been
trying to get a decent (aprox.) 16 point font (fixed width) font for X11 R3.

So far i've tried:
	fg-16 (not too good)
	vt2bdf screen.b.16 (ie: converting the sun bold 16point font --
		this looks pretty bad, as the conversions dont go to well)
	vf2bdf screen.r.16 (this looked rather nice, but is too 'faint').

I've been using the last choice so far, but would really enjoy / appreciate
a font that looks a little darker than this.  Anyone have any good hints?

- mike
