I really like the font on first impression. I set it for xterm with the following (in .Xresources or .Xdefault, as appropriate): XTerm*faceName: Inconsolata XTerm*faceSize: 11 (Be sure to run "xrdb -merge .Xresources" to update X config.) Side-by-side, the letter l and the number 1 are very distinct, but the letter l does look like the number 1 from other fonts. Personally, I don't have a problem there.

If it would have that fixed then I would rate it 9 out of 10 at least.
