-g 86x38 if you want to see the blue line on the right

a and o are not similar in the 11x19 font (lucida sans), just in 9x15.

-fb is correct but we have no bold fonts to add in BL3

-|+sb controls the scrollbar
The default is -sb - yes scrollbar.
+sb removes it. (I think in BL2 xterm default was no bar, -sb added it.)

Without a scrollbar the max geometry at 800 resolution for 11x19 font is
72x25 (two more columns than with a scrollbar).

I will see if there are bold equivalents of our 9x15 and 11x19 fonts
(unless Steven already knows) and maybe they could be added to the next
BL3?
