(I have already posted some half-decent configurations I use with xvt,
rxvt, mrxtv, urxvt, xterm)
I just tried
#!/bin/sh
LANG=en_US ; export LANG
exec mrxvt -geometry 100x37-0+1 \
-stt -rv -sr -sl 2000 \
-tabfg blue -tabbg grey \
-itabfg black -itabbg "dark gray" \
-cf ~/.mrxvtrc.Douglas.A.Tutty
"$@"
I am _sorry_ to say that even terminus (!) is better for may eyes.
One evident thing is that your resolution is better than mine, since
geometry 100x37 (which incidentally is the same as the "geometry" on my
vt console on the ibook I am writing now) with my configurations make
the terminals full screen (except for at most a very few pixels), but
with your configuration the terminal appares much smaller on my display.
One (strange) problem, which is present in almost _all_ fonts I have
ever tried, and at any dimension and resolution, becomes particoularly
evident when using mc: "normal" font on the screen is absolutely not
well defined, but the single line (well, half-line) where the cursor is
present is _much_ more better defined.
In the other configuration I have posted, this is probably solved (as
much as possible) by definig both "normal" and bold fonts
