I think that is a generalization; and a matter of opinion.

I have tried the terminus font; and atleast
a hundred other fonts.  The fact of the matter is that anti-aliased 
fonts specially on LCD screens look much better than non-antialiased 
fonts.  Its rather sad that I have to use xemacs on windows (such a 
heresy) in order to have my fonts antialised.
