@bob, I'm coming from the Windows world, so PCF fonts did not even cross my mind. I guess I have some research to do

You didn't really miss out, since PCF fonts are the worst quality imaginable.

Don't hold you breath because it's not changing (at least not anytime soon)!

Personally, I prefer them to the fuzzy looking anti-aliased fonts.

The beauty of true-type/open-type fonts is that you can tell your font renderer how to draw them. Don't like font hinting (anti-aliasing)? Turn it off!
No such choices in PCF bitmap fonts

I guess we're not using fontconfig/freetype (yet) to draw fonts then, eh?

You edited your message! 

I think font rendering and quality is very important for the user experience. I couldn't live without anti-aliasing and the first thing I do on any linux install (even if it supports anti aliasing and hinting out of the box) is install the Infinality bundle. Makes Linux look even better .

I hate absolutes 

We are at the same level as xterm with regards to how we use the system resources. I don't think there are any options other than pcf at that level.

Is this new as of 135? I don't think the WOL code has been touched lately.
