best Linux font for print mode: TEXT
« on: August 01, 2011, 05:54:11 am »

I have been trying to set up my dwarf fortress config after not having played for almost a year..

I want everything to be as clean and snappy as possible. The standard ncurses graphics mode is somehow show; even scrolling one item in the menu takes a small delay - very annoying. The ncurses is also not very readable.

I find the TEXT mode output to be faster and 'cleaner'; the font is larger.

However, I'm not sure if the font I use - Terminus - will display all signs 'correctly' - will it approximate the ncurses or will it become unreadable? I'm used to the ncurses signs...

So, for those of you that use print mode: TEXT -- which font do you use?
