Re: Font Issue.....

[Eddie O'Connor]

Thanks you guys!!....found the files mentioned (~Legacy.Profiles)....made
the changes as recommended, and now it works.

Interesting tho'.....that something like that would be "removed"....been
using Fedora for a long time, and it was always "just
there"...hopefully?...it will come back in future releases? I mean....I
know I'm nitpicking? but when you have to stare at Terminals all day, you'd
at LEAST want it to be "easy-to-read"! Right?

Cheers!
