I originally started using uw-ttyp0, a monospaced bitmap font, because
  it has a much better unicode coverage than Terminus. This was an issue
  with XTerm. Now I have xiate which supports fallback fonts. This means
  I could go back to Terminus.

  I have really grown to like uw-ttyp0, though. It looks very "natural".
  Terminus,  on  the other hand, looks "stylized" or "sterile". Hmm. You
  have to get used to both of them.
