Colors in xterm are a function of the application. vim with the syntax files with "syntax enable" in the .vimrc file will colorize most things. The real (non busybox) "ls" can do ls --color (or set that in an environment variable) and produces colorized directory listings.

Hi, just found another good font for xterm - Fixedsys Excelsior http://www.fixedsysexcelsior.com/
You can put it to .fonts, restart browser and see http://www.fixedsysexcelsior.com/inf...on/scripts.htm for examples.

It is plain old fixedsys from Windows (used in DOS/command prompt window) changed into ttf with many unicode characters added. At one specific size (same as Terminus) it is not antialiased so it looks perfect. Terminus is great but a bit thin. Fixedsys Excelsior is more bold.

I use Droid Sans Mono.

It doesn't have bold, italic, or a slashed zero though.

I 'twas bored and shoved that font into a deb. I selected that font in my xterm but it looks nothing like whats on the page to me (actually, come think of it, I am using the freetype with bytecode interpreter)

Yes, I know. I just realized screenshot might be good in any case :-)

Best Programming Fonts

Well, I've tried about at least 50 or so really great fonts, but I keep coming back to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, mostly because of how the many different font sizes for this seem to fit the tablet's screen the best for Rogue type games.
VeraMono.zip

Here's a picture of it using one of the larger sizes.

I was just about to recommend that one. My fave for programming/terminal stuff. Otherwise plain "courier new".
