GLterm

Version: 1.2 || Release Date: 2007-02-21 || License: Shareware ($10) Developer: Michel Pollet

GLterm is a terminal application that actually uses OpenGL to display text. This may seem like overkill and strange since Quartz Extreme lends alot of utility and eye candy to apps, but the upside is that GLterm uses standard X11 .bdf fonts.

This is useless to most people, but for those who want to display old VGA fonts or proper ANSI (say for BBS doors or tty Nethack with IBMGRAPHICS enabled /* me */), this is a real find.

Well, I stopped using this app (being the first and only user of it on iusethis) after I realized that OS X really is UNIX, and yes, you really can use UNIX tools. So I used Darwinports/Macports ( http://www.macports.org/ ), and port installed rxvt, which can be loaded in the X11 environment.

Viva la OSS!
