This is the 36x102 (8 bits high by 7 bits wide) font that was posted a while
ago. I have made several changes to it. I much prefer this font to either
the 28x120 or the 36x144 fonts, which people have advocated using. However,
some people have indicated that this font is too small for them.
For those unaquainted with fonts on the Unix PC, the relevant commands are
cfont(1) and setf(1)/sfont(1). One can make a font the default system font
by putting the line
sfont -s <fontfile> 0
in /etc/.fontload.
The command "setf fontfile 0" replaces the default font, in the current
window. However, if a smaller font is loaded, under certain conditions the
cursor size will not be updated. The following sequence of commands has been
found to work. It was hit upon by accident, and I have no idea why it works.
setf 7; setf <fontfile> 7; setf 0; setf <fontfile> 0
