I know I'm late, but I eventually did it: I've finally changed my terminal font from the non-antialiased [Terminus](terminus.html "Terminus") to an [antialiased](crispy.html "antialiased") font. First time, seriously! I'm that much of a dinosaur. Have a look: that's konsole on KDE 4.12 with the default Monospace (which is actually [DejaVu Mono](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DejaVu_fonts "DejaVu Mono")) font and the 'solarized-light' color scheme. The screenshot additionally illustrates the use of [autojump](https://github.com/joelthelion/autojump/wiki "autojump") and displays all of my vim extensions handled by [vimogen](https://github.com/rkulla/vimogen "vimogen").
Talking about vim: here's vim itself displaying a paper I've just submitted. The vim color scheme is 'solarized-light' as well.
Other great fonts for the terminal include Consolas from Microsoft, Monaco from Apple, and the free font [Inconsolata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconsolata "Inconsolata").
