Just scanning new posts & DejaVuMono caught my attention.

I recently installed OZ 3.5.4-test5 for Tosa (to check out if alarms 
will now wake the device - they still don't). The default console font 
is DejaVu_Sans which is proportional & results in the above problem as 
you describe. The two alternatives DejaVu_Sans_Mono & Fixed are I assume 
monospaced & render fine. Given this, why is DejaVu_Sans the default font?

BTW I still love these pda, OZ & Opie. Looking forward to a 2.6 alpha 
(beta?) kernel for Tosa & hopefully, sometime soon, the ability for 
alarms to wake the little sod (??) - then I can finally use it, which 
would be nice ;)
