Yeah, I'm using terminus now, too. It's awesome! I went through a great deal of pain to get emacs 23 and try out some new fonts, but then discovered terminus and now it's relatively useless :)
that's what I was using before ;) To be honest I switched to Terminus when I bought a new laptop with 1680x1050 on 15'' and I wanted to fit more text on the screen. Terminus is really great at small sizes. For everything else there's Deja Vu.
