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.
SegoeUI, it’s damn good and well made
Poppins, RobotoMono, Comfortaa and OpenDyslexic
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"
Pusab (I’m a gd player)
Since basically forever I use DejaVu Sans for UI elements and DejaVu Mono for the terminal.
me too, I loved Verdana before I discovered FOSS and DejaVu Sans is basically FOSS Verdana
I always use Dejavu sans mono for terminal and programming too. I think its the best in terms of readability where indentation is important
I’ve been using Fantasque sans mono for a bunch of years now.
Hack nerd font is my go to for terminal use.
Whatever the default font is
I find comic sans mono actually looks surprisingly nice for coding and terminal.
Ubuntu
Fantasque
Fira Sans / FiraGO by Mozilla, and the new SUSE font by SUSE.
Fira Code and Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font for monospace. For other uses, I’m usually good with whatever the system ships with.
