I love bitmap fonts in my xterm
, they look very good, there is no subpixel rendering or other antialiasing, but the fact they are hand made in regards to every pixel makes it cool. But I do not know how to find such fonts on the Internet and how to install them in my Ubuntu and then select them with xterm
.
What I need is a detailed instruction for all three steps:
- finding/downloading
- installing into x11
- make use by
xterm
Here is how I set up fixed-medium
now, but I have no much idea what it means, and how to select a particular file:
xterm -ls -font '-*-fixed-medium-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-9' -b 20
This is what I used before, for TrueType fonts, which I do not want to use anymore for my xterm
:
xterm -fs 11 -fa AndroidMono -geometry 120x30 -n 'terminal' -ls
xterm -fa default -fs 12
# :-)-f1
loads the default "proportional font" for you, (i.e. vector font) I was using proportional fonts for years, now I am just in a different mood and want my bitmap fonts!
