Hi again, my next problem is that I would like to have my "Monospace" font in gnome-terminal not anti aliased, because it's so blurry it hurts my eyes (; I added a line to /etc/X11/XftConfig: match any family == "mono" edit antialias = false; (I also tried other variations with no luck either) But gnome-terminal still anti aliases "Monospace" as well as "Andale Mono". What can I do to disable aa for certain fonts? many thanks in advance, Andreas
