urxvt, or rxvt-unicode, is a better alternative to rxvt and xterm that supports xft (read anti-aliased) fonts. Here's how to make your terminal pretty:
You need: Cygwin with X, urxvt, and fontconfig (all available through Cygwin's setup utility)
- To see the list of available fonts run:
$ fc-list - Select a font and put it in your ~/.Xdefaults file. e.g.
URxvt*font: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=12 Urxvt*boldFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=12:style=Bold
- Run:
$ urxvt
Bitstream Charter:style=Bold Bitstream Charter:style=Bold Italic Bitstream Charter:style=Italic Bitstream Charter:style=Regular Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Bold Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Oblique Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Roman Bitstream Vera Sans:style=Bold Bitstream Vera Sans:style=Bold Oblique Bitstream Vera Sans:style=Oblique Bitstream Vera Sans:style=Roman Bitstream Vera Serif:style=Bold Bitstream Vera Serif:style=Roman Charter:style=Bold Charter:style=Bold Italic Charter:style=Italic Charter:style=Regular Clean:style=Regular ClearlyU Alternate Glyphs:style=Regular ClearlyU PUA:style=Regular ClearlyU:style=Regular Courier 10 Pitch:style=Bold Courier 10 Pitch:style=Bold Italic Courier 10 Pitch:style=Italic Courier 10 Pitch:style=Regular Courier:style=Bold Courier:style=Bold Italic Courier:style=Bold Oblique Courier:style=Italic Courier:style=Oblique Courier:style=Regular Cursor:style=Regular Fixed:style=Bold Fixed:style=Bold SemiCondensed Fixed:style=ja Fixed:style=ko Fixed:style=Oblique Fixed:style=Oblique SemiCondensed Fixed:style=Regular Fixed:style=SemiCondensed Helvetica:style=Bold Helvetica:style=Bold Oblique Helvetica:style=Oblique Helvetica:style=Regular Lucida:style=Sans Lucida:style=Sans Bold Lucida:style=Sans Bold Italic Lucida:style=Sans Italic LucidaBright:style=Italic LucidaBright:style=Regular LucidaTypewriter:style=Sans LucidaTypewriter:style=Sans Bold Luxi Mono:style=Bold Luxi Mono:style=Bold Oblique Luxi Mono:style=Oblique Luxi Mono:style=Regular Luxi Sans:style=Bold Luxi Sans:style=Bold Oblique Luxi Sans:style=Oblique Luxi Sans:style=Regular Luxi Serif:style=Bold Luxi Serif:style=Bold Oblique Luxi Serif:style=Oblique Luxi Serif:style=Regular New Century Schoolbook:style=Bold New Century Schoolbook:style=Bold Italic New Century Schoolbook:style=Italic New Century Schoolbook:style=Regular Newspaper:style=Regular Terminal:style=Bold Terminal:style=Regular Times:style=Bold Times:style=Bold Italic Times:style=Italic Times:style=Regular Utopia:style=Bold Utopia:style=Bold Italic Utopia:style=Italic Utopia:style=Regular

Hey, great site! I'm learning Ruby right now, and am setting up cygwin, etc. on a wintel. Would be so much easier with MacOSX ;) Your post answered my questions. Thanks again.
