I like the gnu internation fonts.

Download
ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/intlfonts/intlfonts-1.2.1-split/European.tar.gz

Unpack them into, e.g., "c:/dir/".

And put
(setq w32-bdf-filename-alist (w32-find-bdf-fonts 
                              '("c:/dir/intlfonts-1.2/European")))
(setq window-font "-etl-fixed-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1")
(when window-system (set-frame-font window-font))
into your .emacs.

This gives a decent font.

I am searching for good looking X fonts with pixel heights of 20-21
pixels and larger.  Displays have 100 dpi or even 120 dpi but new
fonts haven't appeared to make human eye readable displays at those
resolutions.  Any hints?
