I like the console because it is faster, cleaner looking, and simpler when I want to ssh to my shell account. But when I run Xterm, I get such a difference in font size, it made me wonder if there was a similar font for syscons. An xterm or wterm running in X is more trouble to start, and for 'purists' it breaks the rules anyway. :) But I can see a lot more text in mutt than I can on an 80x30 syscon.
