By default, the shell is using a raster font instead of a true type font, which causes slow standard output, pager scrolling etc... - open a cygwin shell - left click on the cygwin icon at the upper left - click 'Properties' - on the 'Font' tab, select 'Lucida Console' (or another monospaced true type font of your choice), and set the size as desired - set any other selections as desired, such as alternate background/foreground color - click ok, and select 'Modify the shortcut that started this window' - the cygwin shell should now be much faster docs/cygwin/fonts_and_performance.txt Last modified: 2008/08/03 00:25by 127.0.0.1
