This is really valuable, Chuck! I'd already independently settled on Deja Vu and Lucida Console already based on ad hoc testing, but these test results give me a objective foundation for that opinion. (Why Lucida Console given its deficiencies compared to Deja Vu? It's more vertically compact, allowing more lines in a window for a given point size, and I don't seem to have any programs here that need the missing glyphs.) If random list members can nominate others for gold stars, I so do. :) It might be good if this xgraphics file you have were distributed with mintty in the doc directory, so others can repeat the test on their system with other fonts. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
