## Introduction
This page describes fonts I tested for usability in
a terminal emulator. The ratings may be highly subjective
and describe my way to find good fonts.
## How I tested
I'm using a small script named **urxvt-font-change**,
which is part of the nsbin git repository. This script
allows me to dynamically change the font in the running
terminal.
## Objectives
There are a lot of different objectives for choosing
a font that suits you. For me, the following objectives
are interesting: Is the font usable for ...
* small screens
* presentations
* my eyes
The last point is probably mostly subjective, a font
must "look good" to me.
## Font list
And here's the actual font table:
[[!table data="""
Font name | Size | Recommended | Remarks
xft:Bitstream Vera Serif:style=Roman | big | | Too much whitespace
"""]]
[[!tag unix]]
