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.

Try:# nano /etc/locale.gen en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 tr_TR.UTF-8 UTF-8# locale-gen # export LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8# loadkeys tr_q-latin5 # setfont Lat2-Terminus16# nano /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAP="tr_q-latin5" FONT="Lat2-Terminus16" FONT_MAP=Leave "FONT_MAP" blank.

Termsyn Font 1 year 28 weeks ago

I've been using Terminus lately; but I've also been trying Tamsyn, which has a little too much "serif" to be my terminal font of choice. Fortunately, your work incorporates some of the "better" glyph shapes from the former. I'm very possibly making a switch to Termsyn. Would be be possible for you to include a PSF version for use at the console?

I bit the bullet and changed from SysVinit to systemd, everything is pretty ironed up apart from the console font, which even though I addedFONT="ter-112n"to vconsole.conf doesn't seem to affect the console font.

[ubuntu] Best Terminal Font 37 weeks 6 days ago

I have tried several monospace fonts for the terminal and for programming, but the best by far is the old "Screen" font from SGI (see sample below).

It is a bitmapped font that comes in all point sizes in the range from 7 to 18. Even at the smallest sizes it is amazingly readable.

I like having a custom font, usually cursive but this font has been easy to read and fits my current zombie theme.

First find a font file that you like in .TTF format, download es file explore or use one you are familiarwith. Go to system/font and paste your new .TTF file. Set permissions to writeable and swap names of HYSerif_Regular and your new font.
