Better Terminal Font in OS X (GNOME)

With the release of Leopard (OS X 10.5) came a sufficiently usable Terminal (aka tabs). The only real complaint I had was the font.

I ended up tracking down the default font used in the GNOME terminal and installed it using the steps below:

1. Download Bitstream Vera Mono 1.10
2. Extract the archive
3. Double click on VeraMono.ttf
4. Click Install Font
5. From Terminal click Terminal->Preferences
6. To the right of Font click Change...
7. Select Bitstream Vera Sans for the Family
8. Select 12 for the Size
9. Close the Fonts window
10. Enable Antialias text under Text
11. Restart the Terminal
