It's very hard to find really nice terminal fonts. Here are some screenshots so you can see what a few of the terminal fonts who are available on most GNU/Linux systems look like (These are included in Gentoo, much likely most other distributions).

aterm -fn "*-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1"[edit]

Large fonts[edit]

aterm -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-m-150-iso8859-1[edit]

This is nice for doing presentations and that sort of thing where you need a larger audience to see what is going on.
