No. I recently tried just about every terminal I could get my hands on,
and settled on using aterm like this:
aterm -bg black -fg white +sb -tr -sh 15 -sl 10000 -si -sk -fn 8x13 -ls
-geometry 80x36
and I have room for four of them at once not overlapping. I find that
8x13 and 9x15 are the most readable console fonts. Anti-aliasing just
sucks in a terminal anyway (which is all that aterm cannot do), as much
as I like bitstream vera, and gnome-terminal's scrolling is atrocious
(previous versions don't seem to have this problem). I guess aa is okay
for black text on a white background, but I like a black
semi-transparent background.
Cheers,
Chris
