Hello,
I am running freebsd 6.1 and started using emacs and gnus, I am looking for the best possible font that I can use, what are you guys using?

In my xterm windows i use Manaco which looks really smooth and clear, but I cant figure out how to get this woring in emacs/gnus.

Here's my .Xresource:
XTerm*FaceName: Monaco
XTerm*FaceSize: 10

Now if I can only get this to work in emacs???

Thanks all

-Paul

Have you found the Lucida fonts in Java? Lucida Sans Typewriter has  
four variants and more than 1.000 glyphs. Monaco has less.

My .Xdefaults looks like:

Emacs*Font:	-*-courier-medium-r-*--*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

So replace courier with Monaco, replace 140 with 100, and replace
iso8859-1 if you're using some other character set, e.g. iso10646-1
for Unicode.
