What fonts are you currently using on your system? Which do you think is best for the terminal or for your desktop environment?

(updates) Ok I think I’m a fan of Ubuntu nerd fonts right now

    Personally, whatever is default.

    I know that may sound weird, but I’m a huge fan of sane defaults that I don’t even notice are there.

    For desktop, I’ve liked Lato, Source Sans Pro, and Inter to name three.

    For terminal, I used Iosevka’s customizer to create a gorgeous Fira Mono-like variant that I call Iosevka Firesque:

    [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque]
    family = "Iosevka Firesque"
    spacing = "term"
    serifs = "sans"
    noCvSs = true
    exportGlyphNames = false
    
      [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants]
      inherits = "ss05"
    
        [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants.design]
        capital-g = "toothless-corner-serifless-hooked"
        capital-q = "crossing-baseline"
        g = "single-storey-serifed"
        long-s = "bent-hook-tailed"
        cyrl-a = "single-storey-earless-corner-serifed"
        cyrl-ve = "standard-interrupted-serifless"
        cyrl-capital-ze = "unilateral-serifed"
        cyrl-ze = "unilateral-serifed"
        cyrl-capital-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed"
        cyrl-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed"
        cyrl-capital-er = "open-serifless"
        cyrl-er = "earless-corner-serifless"
        cyrl-capital-u = "cursive-flat-hook-serifless"
        cyrl-u = "curly-motion-serifed"
        cyrl-capital-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed"
        cyrl-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed"
        brace = "straight"
        ampersand = "upper-open"
        at = "threefold"
        cent = "open"

      I always use Dejavu sans mono for terminal and programming too. I think its the best in terms of readability where indentation is important

    Fira Code and Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font for monospace. For other uses, I’m usually good with whatever the system ships with.
