Terminus is fine, but for me it consumes too much space vertically. Proggy Tiny saves some pixels and therefore provides you with more lines on the same space. @foo: Let me package it first, but you are right of course, that at the end of the day the package should go to Debian. @Evil: Uh well, again a questions of taste. Actually I think one should use what suites best. Though using a non free font is a pity of course. @John/Vyazovoi: Surely a question of taste.
