Terminus, always, bitmap supremacy
I use 0xProto because it looks nice
I tried using the Hyperlegible family systemwide but found the 0 glyph too distracting outside of terminal/code cases. As a terminal font, it’s perfection.
Ooo, I might have to put this up against Fira Code at work tomorrow.
The default font.
Open dyslexic or Adys for my broken head
I read a heap of peer review articles on thst. They seemed to suggest a form without all the P when ads (sans?) Is just as good. Along woth mono space and larger font size.
Helvetica or Ariel are just as good. In use Adobe Ember or whatever its called.
YMMV
Call me crazy, but I usually like to install Apple’s San Francisco Pro Display font
Edit: For Qt and GTK apps obviously, not for the terminal. I prefer JetBrains Mono there.
Another edit: Apparently there also a monospaced version of SF Pro. Just realized that it’s the default in the macOS Terminal app. There’s even a version with ligatures and Nerd Font symbols: https://github.com/shaunsingh/SFMono-Nerd-Font-Ligaturized
Utter insanity
Crazy
For real, a good font.
Default font: Inter Monospaced font: JetBrains Mono NL (I don’t like ligatures, ask me if you want elaboration)
IBM Plex Sans/Serif/Mono everywhere!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a hard sell for a font.
This is the best font IMO. I used to use source code pro, but I switched to Plex a few years ago and it’s all I want to use now.
I was not familiar with that page. I love this in the nerdiest way possible.
Any is it not variable?
Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.
Noto Sans
I’ve recently fallen in love the Liberation fonts. For some reason I would always scroll past them in font lists and I don’t know why. I guess I just saw Liberation Serif as a Times New Roman knockoff and dismissed them all because of that, when they’re so much more.
I’ve applied them across the board (including websites) and wow… I was straining my eyes for so long thinking my vision was going, when it turns out it was just bad hinting and kerning all along.
I’m a JetBrains Mono fan. And whatever font I use has GOTTA have ligatures. I love ligatures.
Yeah when I went down a terminal config rabbit hole I landed on JetBrains Mono with all the nerd font symbols. Can’t really provide a particular reason I like it over many other fonts, but I just do.
I’m the same way, it just feels right.
i have been using Ubuntu Fonts for the past years and now every other font is ugly
like why does every font, except ubuntu, have these ugly af corners?
ubuntu font for comparison:

Not a font guy, but isn’t it just mimicking how humans use strokes to write?
It looks nicer, and it’s easier to read for me tbh.
yeah it mimics how humans write on paper, but i’m on a computer
human detected 🧐🤨
EXTERMINATE?
I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I’m also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.
For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.
Fira Code is seriously awesome. I love how it is delightfully quirky. Not too much, just enough to give it plenty of character without becoming weird, annoying, or hard to read.
I also really like how it is more wide than most. If I’m supposed to finish all my lines at 80 characters there’s no point in using something that condensed.
Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

Well, there’s Fira Sans, but I don’t know if it’s what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I’ve used it as a GUI typography for some time.
Yeah, Fira Code gang!
Yep, been using Fira Code for years and I love it.
Fira Code is my answer as well! I’ll use others for some variety, but it’s the favorite I always go back to.
DejaVu Sans Mono. Open source, good Unicode support, clear distinctions between characters (“iI1oO0”).
