Re: poor font rendering in white-over-black (eg Mutt)



Use a bitmap font, like "Fixed". Bitmap fonts are enabled per default in
fontconfig, but you may want to check it with

dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

Or simply use UXTerm with

*VT100*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
