On it was listed a face called, I think, "Monospaced Century Schoolbook." This face might be worth a try; I've spent an inordinate amount of time staring at ordinary Adobe New Century Schoolbook screen fonts and I found them to be quite readable at low rez. I've never used this monospaced variant, although I'd like to try it. Bitstream people, how about donating these bitmaps to the X Window System consortium? Strike a blow against bitmap blindness everywhere! :-) /Ollie Jones
