Thanks, for the info on gnome-terminal (still my favorite term), I'll
give it at try.

GF Zemen is Unicode encoded and uses GPL,

  ftp://ftp.ethiopic.org/pub/fonts/TrueType/gfzemenu.ttf

But it doesn't beat ClearlyU at the same point size.  Hopefully we will see
at least one other Ethiopic TT font distributed under GPL early next year.
Some additional bdf fonts are in the pipeline.
