https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158790 According to the above the DejaVu Sans and Droid Sans fonts are best for using few pixels. I was using Courier monospaced before at 8 point and now DejaVu Sans at 7 point which seems more readable. A fairly default Debian KDE setup doesn't have Droid Sans. Are there any fonts that are better for few pixels than DejaVu Sans that I should try? 4096/7=585, so with some space used by scroll bars and a panel that means I get 4 terminal windows that are each 100 characters wide across a 4K display with a bit of extra space for a 5th column that is partly obscured. That also gives 4 clear rows of terminals so I get clear visibility of 16 terminal windows that each have 100*25 text and for partially obscured windows that's another 9 more. Based on discussions here I am convinced that 43" is the correct choice. When holding up a meter ruler to my current 27" monitor 108cm doesn't seem significantly bigger. I just bought a Phillips 43" monitor because the price was good. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to linux-aus-unsubscribe-cunTk1MwBs8iFSDQTTA3OBCuuivNXqWP@public.gmane.org
