 mlterm was surprisingly the terminal emulator with the lowest footprint when using xft fonts. Additionally it offers configuration by using a command line tool for experienced users as well as a GUI. So this is the recommended terminal emulator. mlterm was surprisingly the terminal emulator with the lowest footprint when using xft fonts.
