He has a point. The font I use with xterm and rxvt renders characters
only 6 pixels wide. (I chose this so I could fit two 80-column xterms
side-by-side on my 1024x768 screen.) If you try to anti-alias text that
small characters like 'W' end up as blobs on non-uniform gray instead of
legible text. But I do like aa fonts for large text (say, when I'm web
browsing).
Up to 3 cents now.
