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

Why the hell would you use this when you can use Tom's X11 BDF Font Editor?

Surely that must be it. I also blame it for the lack of horizontal consistency among the three kinds of brackets.

Well, of the top of my head Inconsolata is under an open font license, mona is public domain and I believe Terminus is GPL.

This is how I know you didn't read those posts. Off the top of my head: Inconsolata and Anonymous Pro are under
Open Font Licenses, Mona is public domain and Terminus is GPL v2. I don't know about the rest, but you could, you know, do some research before spouting your ass off.

is there a site that has screenshots of lots of different programming fonts?

Is there a site that allows me to search for things on the internet?

Yes, just create a new thread here and describe what you're searching for.

Yes, just create a new thread here and describe what you want to create in your /prog thread.

But I don't know a good site for creating threads on /prog/. Can you post a thread for me asking for help making threads?

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.
