I think Oscar is right (about gnome-terminal only supporting XFT fonts). |
| 27 |
|

For another suggestion for an alternate, you might consider |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
multi-gnome-terminal (emerge multi-gnome-terminal) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
which is "based" on gnome-terminal, and has many more features (like |
| 33 |
session saving and history saving per terminal tab), despite being |
| 34 |
GTK-based rather than GTK2-based. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I've just checked, and it does definitely accept font specifications in |
| 37 |
the form of -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*-r-* , so it |
| 38 |
might be more like what you're looking for. It's not quite perfect, but |
| 39 |
it's pretty close. |
