    Just a xterm tip

    Just found how to use truetype fonts with xterm if somebody is interested.

    edit /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm

    and add

    *faceName: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
    *faceSize: 10

    Not all truetype fonts works nicely with xterm but this one works very good
    I have been looking for this for weeks and found it on a forum in spanish

    I don't use gnome-terminal or konsole because they are a bit bloated for my taste.

    An excellent tip! I found font size 10 to be a bit big for me, but 9 is excellent.

    Thanks!
