Hello,

I've found it: "Lucida Sans Typewriter-18"

I was wrong: I got 5 more lines with Efont, because the width of the font
was also smaller.

But I've discovered another problem with Lucida: "0" and "O" are not
distinguishable.

Now I've played again with Efont, but this time with the
fontconfig-notation. The pleasant result: *it works*!
That means: no more problems with "Efont Fixed-18".

Cheers, Peter
