[finding usable fonts for terminals in X]

Sorry, I don't have time to write out a nice answer; here's a dump of my
notes:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! Fixed width fonts
!
! Useful programs for determining font preferences:
! - xlsfonts(1x) 
!   - list X fonts matching a pattern (e.g. xlsfonts -fn '*-iso8859-1' ).
!   - `-ll' includes information on whether a font is proportional or not
!     (`monospaced', `character cell'). 
! - xfd(1x) - show all glyphs in a font.
! - xfontsel(1x) - point and click selection of font names. .
!   (e.g. xfontsel -noscaled -pattern '*-iso8859-1' )
!

HTH,
