Terminus, always, bitmap supremacy
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.
I use 0xProto because it looks nice
The default font.
Default font: Inter Monospaced font: JetBrains Mono NL (I don’t like ligatures, ask me if you want elaboration)
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.
Utter insanity
Crazy
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.
For real, a good font.
I once did comic sans for a while because I am not highly typographically sensitive and wanted to mess about, but I usually like a mono serif typeface for the terminal, most recently Noto.
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.
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.
human detected 🧐🤨
EXTERMINATE?
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.
Ubuntu and Adwaita fonts are my favorite
