Another option for low DPI users is to use bitmap fonts instead of vector ones. I find blurriness of truetype fonts on low res displays to give greater visual fatigue than the jagged edges of misc-fixed or terminus.


Agreed. Anti-aliasing is only needed if you're trying to imitate printed text, which does not improve programming or writing productivity.
