No truetype font will replace a pixel perfect bitmapped font. Not until we have displays with ridiculous dpi. And until that happens you can't beat terminus as it's perfect.
Yes, I know it's meant for print, but people here mention it in the context of using it on the screen as well.
- to3m 14y agoI'm afraid you have been misinformed. The perfect bitmap font is the famous 6x13 xterm font from X-Windows. This is a simple statement of incontrovertible fact.
- robin_reala 14y agoNot until we have displays with ridiculous dpi. 3 years will see the majority of new computers on ‘retina’ displays.
- LeonidasXIV 14y agoThat means we get back to what we had in 2005 with the T42's 1600x1200 15" screen?
- drivebyacct2 14y agoThat's not even close to the pixel density of the MBP Retina, or the new 1080p 11" IPS screens. And given that I paid as much for my T61 a couple years ago as I could've paid for a decent MBP and the screen made my eyes bleed, I'm willing to be the 1600x1200 display was not that great.
