This is really valuable, Chuck! I'd already independently settled on
Deja Vu and Lucida Console already based on ad hoc testing, but these
test results give me a objective foundation for that opinion.
(Why Lucida Console given its deficiencies compared to Deja Vu? It's
more vertically compact, allowing more lines in a window for a given
point size, and I don't seem to have any programs here that need the
missing glyphs.)
If random list members can nominate others for gold stars, I so do. :)
It might be good if this xgraphics file you have were distributed with
mintty in the doc directory, so others can repeat the test on their
system with other fonts.
