- I've begun to make pretty serious use of MacX over the phone, via ARA,
- and find that the speed Xterms run at is not too bad when I use a high
- speed modem. However, I find myself wondering how much overhead is being
- caused by the fonts I use. Since I have a smallish screen - an Apple 13"
- RGB monitor - I try to use small fonts, so as to conserve space. But I
- wonder exactly what the "best" font would be, in terms of efficiency.
- Anybody out there got any guesses or opinions?
