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? TIA, SH

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

Not all 'monospace' fonts appear to work right; Courier(Adobe) and LucidaTypewriter have quirks such as characters scattered all over the place, and, when I do an 'ls', blue directory names partly hiding behind the black file names, that sort of things. But all the 'char cell' fonts (fixed (misc) among them) display well in the Gnome terminal. So at least a solution has been found. Thanks! Sjoerd
