Hi Seiichi,
I've added the exact same line you wrote, and the font its still the default,
meaning its not the lfp-smooth.

lfp its not scalable, I don't use AA fonts on terminals.
I would like to know if there are other ways to change fonts, specially
something more simple, like adding the name of the font in some start paramenter
or config file.

Thanks.
