Currently the above "terminus" font line is in the example LCDd.conf
shipped with LCDproc.

I do not know whether the Terminus font is widely installed.
Do you have an idea for a better suited font ?

I tend to change it to 
- Fixed		-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
- DejaVu Mono	-dejavu-dejavu sans mono-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
where I prefer the latter since it is definitely free,
and has better quality than fixed.

What do you think?
Are there other fonts that are similarly widespread ?
