I noticed that my letters were all spaced out when I tried this. If you are using a proportional font, try using 'fixed' or 'clean' instead. Slightly off the subject, is it just me, or do the fonts under X and KDE look very poor? Sometimes, at point sizes about about 14, the font goes very blocky and pixelly. I installed all the fonts that come with the XF86 3.3.3. 1 dist too. Regards, Jeff >extra pixels are usually vertically arranged. kvt is not affected like this >but instead spaces characters out v e r y w i d e l y (but only those I type >in - system replies and program output are fine). kvt also doesn't know how >to clear the screen. No matter though - I'm used to and happy with xterm. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
