Hi,
not very long ago someone on this list complained about his/her KDE X-terminal showing t h i s s y m p t o m . Well, I've got the same with my Gnome X-terminal (SuSE 7.1). Any idea how it could be cured? Yes I presume: On my box I discovered, that there is at least one font

The problem is that gnome-terminal doesn't use proportional fonts very well ( -- I think it inherited this from xterm/rxvt). If you want a list of fonts that don't have this problem you can go to the "Settings -> Preferences" menu item. There will be a browse button beside the font name. Click on that and you get the "Pick a Font" dialog. Click on the "Filter" tab; if you select 'char cell' and 'monospace' in the "Spacing" section, then go back to the Font tab, all the fonts listed will work like you want. Daniel
