Ubuntu For Free

I recently learned of a font that other users highly recommend for your terminal application. Being a demanding Konsole user, it sounded beneficial so I thought I should try it.

It is called the Terminus font, and I found a TrueType Font format file at this site. To install it in Kubuntu Hardy, I went to Kmenu -> System Settings ->

Appearance ->

Font Installer ->

Add Fonts.

I then selected the files I downloaded from the previous site. Then, from inside of Konsole I went to

Settings -> Font -> Select and chose the Terminus font.

Please share your thoughts and any suggestions!

In honor of the upcoming release of Intrepid Ibex, Bauer Power is returning Ubuntu or Kubuntu stickers to people who mail him a self-addressed stamped envelope. I mailed my request today! He said his mailbox was full. I wonder if he’s been able to fill all of the requests. I’d like to drop a note of thanks to him for this kind of gracious offer. Here’s another example of the fine people in the open-source software community.

Thanks Bauer Power!
