Yea, I thought of that and it does work, though certain positions that 
text is in is all messed up.  It seems there are some problems with the 
ANSI escape sequences for moving the cursor position around and such.  
I'm not quite sure. 

I wonder though, why the font does not show up in the font lists for the 
gnome-terminal?
