For real, a good font.
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 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.
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.
I really like Hack for monospace.
I am a big hack fan, I just don’t like to tell people as it’s a stupid name.
HELLO I AM HACK NICE TO MEET YOU
What makes it stupid? At least it’s relevant instead of random nonsense names like “noto” “callenda” “amiri” etc (apologies if all these names have rich etymologies)
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
Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.
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.
Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything
Gotta be unifont for me. Love those crispy pixels, and it manages to do monospace without being fugly as hell.
Unifont is great, though I find Terminus and Proggyfonts more legible and nicer looking, but I think that Unifont probably has more character coverage which might be relevant if you insane like me and set a bitmap font everywhere.
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.
Terminus TTF in i3/sway
I compile Terminus otb my self with centered * and ~ patch and the curved l patch, crisp as reference block used to calibrate calipers.
Open dyslexic or Adys for my broken head
Ubuntu and Adwaita fonts are my favorite
Terminus, always, bitmap supremacy
