Oh - I just tried install roxterm and other alternatives but couldn't figure out how to tell it which font to use... Sakura and Roxterm link against libvte-2.90 and libvte-2.91, both of which are linked against GTK3. Could be interesting to test e.g. mate-terminal which is linked against libvte9 and GTK2. And rxvt-unicode which supports Freetype fonts but not VTE nor GTK. >> Attached are ghostscript renderings of the two main fonts > >> I cannot see any difference > >> I believe the hinters are relevant for screen rendering only. > >> I still recommend to package both Truetype and Opentype > > So my understanding so far goes like this: > > 1. otf anf ttf describe the same typefaces; > 2. what changes is the result after the hinting process for screen > rendering.

WOFF below /usr/share/fonts/woff/hack EOT below /usr/share/eot/hack SVG /usr/share/fonts/svg/hack I would suggest to skip ttf-web for now. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
