aterm fonts
Anyone know if it is possible to have aterm use anti-aliased fonts? If so, how can I do it? I am currently using gnome-terminal and I was going to try aterm since a lot of people like it (as far as I can tell from the posts here on LQ).

Aterm is what I use. You may want to use less with xlsfonts since the ouput will scroll by at lightening speed 
xlsfonts | less |

I did read the aterm manual. It tells me how to put a font in, but not about anti-aliasing (as far as I can tell). The reason I was asking the question is that if I choose the same exact font for aterm and gnome-terminal it looks great in gnome-terminal, but horrible in aterm. Upon closer inspection of the fonts, the font was anti-aliased in gnome-terminal, but not in aterm and I was curious how to change it. The font I am trying is bitstream vera sans mono.
