If you were serious about typography, you would be using Free fonts such as DejaVu and GNU/Linux Libertine.
The old “foundry” model, where every typeface is the work of only one person, may have worked well enough in the 72-dpi Anglocentric era. But now that high DPI displays are here, that a wide range of antialiasing algorithms for fonts have been deployed, and that UNICODE is supported almost everywhere; it becomes obvious that the old fashioned ways cannot possibly scale against a bazaar development model. Allowing a truly international set of contributors to continually improve the shapes we use to build our free culture is the way of the future.

If you were serious about typography, you would recognize that those "Free" fonts look like hell when compared to professionally desgined fonts, and also that FreeType looks like hell when compared to the professionally developed TrueType renderers on Mac OS X and Windows.

Fuck free.

How so? It is just a list of proprietary offerings. It is just as bad as telling someone aspiring to become a designer "Purchase Photoshop" and "Purchase Illustrator".

You have no idea what you're talking about, most obviously because typefaces designed today are rarely the work of one person.

That's definitely the fault of ``DejaVu'', and not your inability to configure font rendering on your system.

I've always wanted to have the standard console font in X11. It's the most readable besides subpixel optimized bitmap fonts which rally rare nowadays.
One way to go would be a framebuffer but I would prefer a fontset which looks exactly the same. The links-hacked project has something like that but it's just a collection of png images..

At best I would like to have a 8x8 font with subpixel/colorpalette optimization for each syntax highlighting rule.

Used to use Lucida Console until I finally ditched my CRT about a year ago and ClearType stopped looking like ass. Now Consolas.

ClearType
There is a FreeType patch for Autohinting which I use right now, it looks quite different with this cosy feel to it. It looks even better sometimes but there is still colour bleed.
