Variable width fonts from the Linux Font Project. You'll have to add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/lfpfonts-var to your X font path by either: $ xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/lfpfonts-var $ xset fp rehash or by adding it to your X-server configuration file (usually /etc/XF86Config, /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/Xaccel.ini) and restarting the X-server.
