I imagine that it's a bit big for some, I'm running dual 24" displays and sit
a bit far from my screens which is why I like it :)

you're absolutely right about the indentation, vim's autoindent is playing
games on me. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, either way see below.

I was thinking about this first as well but then I noticed that no other package
does this. although I haven't ran in to an issue on two of my machines I might
as well add it.

cursed-font-1.0.0: ok
Updating font cache: ok
--- +cursed-font-1.0.0 -------------------
You may wish to run:
$ xset +fp /usr/local/share/fonts/cursed
$ xset fp rehash

Please see attached, and thanks for the interest :)
