I'm a big member of the 'fonts are subjective' bandwagon, but I'm
_really_ surprised that anyone would consider the Luxi fonts to look
better than the DejaVu ones. DejaVu is just a far more polished font
set, which is why it was chosen by all major distros to replace Luxi
years ago. You're literally the first person I've come across who seems
to prefer the appearance of Luxi. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose,
I'm just surprised =)
I've never said that Luxi fonts are better than DejaVu fonts.
What I've said is that there is no alternative to Luxi Mono
if one wants a serif monospaced font.
I like to have a serif font in my shell; I find it more readable,
even at small size.
