(Anonymous at 9pt is very very compact and still quite readable.) I really don't like the caret ("^") in this font, with or without squishing.įixedMedium6x13 set to size 13 and line spacing 0.80 yields the xterm font exactly. With vertical (line) space squishing it can be made more vertically compact than the xterm font without harming readability. Squishing the character spacing causes upper case characters to touch each other very slightly and numbers are rather ugly that way.

95 character spacing (I still don't know how to squish character or line spacing in anything but Terminal.app) and normal line spacing is exactly the same size as the X11 font. The other Proggy varieties seem to not be as compact as the xterm font.Īnonymous at 10pt with. With or without line space squishing though, I find this option definitively worse than Monaco. Either way, it takes up exactly as much space horizontally. 9 makes it vertically slightly more compact than X11's xterm font. Capital I is pretty sucky (hard to distinguish from l and i and |). Monaco 9pt fixes the angle brackets and is more vertically compact than the xterm font (same horizontally). Upper case characters ("A" in particular) also don't look as good in Monaco.
Monaco has the advantage of slashed zeros but has worse angle brackets (they bump into adjacent characters awkardly, eg, "~>"). I don't think the squishing harms readability. Without the line space squishing it takes up more vertical space. 9 line spacing (I don't know how to squish line or character spacing in anything other than Terminal.app) takes up exactly as much vertical and horizontal space as the xterm font.
