This doesn't seem to make any difference.  For instance, I'm typing this 
on what I *think* is Lucida Console, but the "m"s look like n's.  I don't 
know if it makes any difference, but I haven't enabled AA using the 
environment variable for gnome.  (I hate that the pager labels take up to 
rows.)

None of the non-proportional fonts look good at any size.

Aside from general grainyness, and the fact that everything seems extra 
bold, all the wide characters are truncated: Ws look like Vs, Ms look like 
Ns, and so on.  For instance, I'm sending this to what looks like: 
xinian.con. ;)
