title: Font for mac osx that is as readable and compact as the default xterm (X11) font
body: <p>The font used in xterms is extremely compact yet readable.  What font is that?  The closest I've found that I can use in other other applications is DejaVu Sans Mono or Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.  Those are as compact as xterms vertically but take up more space horizontally.</p>
  
  <p>I'd really like to switch from xterms to Terminal.app and this is the one thing holding me back.</p>
  
  <p>(I also think that font would be much better for emacs, xcode, or whatever editor.)</p>
  
  <p>ADDED: In Terminal.app you can adjust the character and line spacing for any font.  Is this possible in other applications?</p>
  
  <p>I'm open to any other font that is as compact and readable as the xterm font.  Dina looks really nice but it doesn't seem to work for Mac.</p>
