Looks interesting -- I've been using Terminus for quite a while -- it's
another fixed-width programmer-friendly font, Comparing it with
Anonymous Pro, it seems a bit narrows and doesn't seem to have as much
variation in apparent weight (Anonymous Pro's W is so much darker than
the other characters on a line I'm looking at that it looks like it's in
Bold!).
