Hello

I used to set the font Incosolata for terminal and macvim, downloadable from

http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html

Unfortunately after the upgrade to mac os x 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) there seems to be a problem with this font in the Terminal.app. The font is not shown and looks like it is drawn really small. This problem only appears with the Terminal.app. macvim and all other mac application show the font ok.

I already tried erasing the font cache using atsutil. But nothing works. After removing the font and reinstalling it, it seems, the font was shown correctly once by Terminal under Snow Leopard. But now nothing works. The font is also shown wrong in the Font-Selection-Tool.

To make this better understandable I added a screenshot of the font rendering in the Terminal.app.

Does anyone have an idea, why this doesn't work only in the Terminal.app?

greetings

Is it a type 1 font? If so, Snow Leopard dropped some level of support for type 1 fonts, and now relies on OTF and TruType fonts.
