All,
] Does anyone have a good idea about a particular font which is easy to
] read and does not strain the eyes?
Because these are all easy on the eyes, I use:
- sixbyten
(very nice for coding and viewing volumes of output in an rxvt(1);
cf. <http://world.std.com/~franl/6x10.html>)
- vt100
(also very nice; taken from VanDyke's SecureCRT--and probably CRT--
product; cf. <http://www.vandyke.com/download/crt/index.html>)
- Courier New
- Courier
- Lucida Console
(very nice sans serif font)
Here is the "set-default-font" section of my .emacs file:

The w32 section is not cleaned up at the top because I've at least temp-
orarily achieved escape velocity from the Windows world and am back in
UNIX. Even so, some might find it useful.
