On my Debian Squeeze (6.x) installation my system had a nice small login shell font (terminus??) but after installing the nvidia drivers for my machine it boots up using a very chunky font (on a 24 inch screen). I tried to edit the appropriate file leaving font as "fixed" but changing size from 16 to 8 (one of the suggested options) but it made no visible difference.
after much pain last night i had to resort to installing statler as my aged laptop seems to be too worn out to boot from a dvd (needed for waldorf, it would seem) or a usb stick.anyway, i'm looking for a way to aquire a) the terminus font, b) ranger file manager and c) xxxterm (xombrero) browser.a) i've moved from a debian install that i don't remember having to install the terminus
You're welcome. Terminus is a bitmapped font but I don't know if that's the issue. I do remember a truetype font that looked pretty similar but- ummm... don't remember what it's actually called. :p Maybe someone will jump in with recommendations. There's also some fixed-width font examples here: http://www.lowing.org/fonts/in case you see anything you like.
I've been trying to do this for ages, but I've never been able to find any concrete details as to how to do this. I'd like to set the start up font so that it looks like the one used in like Debian, Ubuntu, and other distros, instead of the bitmap font that I currently have set as the terminal font.

According to the Mirror Status page, my mirror is 100% up to date.I don't think changing the font will help since the problem affects at least 3 different fonts (Mutter window title font, GTK+ 3 menu font, Gnome Terminal font, Chomium tab font) simultaneously.

Hi,For some reason I can't get my xterms to display the terminus font correctly. It mainly shows up when I display man pages, all the dash characters show up as filled black boxes. It happens with other stuff too though. I've been asking in the IRC channel, but so far, no luck.
Today, I started VLC to find that the menu font had become gigantic, to the point where VLC is unusable. The font is so big, that most of a menu doesn't show when opened.
I've been using the terminus bitmap fonts forever and they work fine. Perhaps you just need to make the font size a tad bigger or adjust your DPI? OB will default to a TTF font if it can't render the bitmaps correctly at the size you set.
I know that:
Default font-is just default
Document font-for Documents
Window title fonts is for titles.
What the others are for? What is monospace font? I only know it's a font like any font.
Hinting is for notices like the names of objects in the dock, isn't it?
