For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.
[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]
My EndeavourOS (and the prior Manjaro distro) had all of them installed.
All. Of. Them.
I am so tired of having to scroll through hundreds of Noto fonts to get to the later ones, but I’m afraid, if I uninstall one, something will break on reboot.
I like fira code w/ nerd fonts. The ligatures are nice for coding.
The f and t crossers being at different levels breaks my concentration when I’m reading code. I prefer comic mono and fantasque for this reason, but fira code is exceptionally well thought out
I see that as a positive feature - I like every character to be clearly distinct and it helps me to resume reading when my concentration is broken.
Not common, perhaps, but I like to download Atkinson Hyperlegible.
My #1 choice, although I don’t like the q, i or a. Still feels more airy than IBM Plex (my #2 choice).
The default font in the web browser on Ubuntu look bad. Different length between the letters and size
I use Terminus (ter-112n) for TTY, Source Code Pro for terminal emulators, and DejaVu, Liberation, and Noto for others
Ubuntu fonts works pretty good for me as a general UI font tbh. In text editors I prefer mononoki over monospace, it’s a bit prettier IMO, although in terminal I use terminus because pixel fonts are cool.
The ligatures are chef’s kiss
I use fantasque for my monospace, fira sans for my work horse ui font, and Garamond for my “someone wants to display serifs for some reason”
I’m a fan of the Go fonts for terminals.
Heck yes! I like to read in my terminal, and the go fonts are one of the best monospaced serif fonts I’ve found for the purpose
Dejavu, Liberation, & Noto are all pretty common.
I enjoy Fira Sans and Fira Mono. Looks professional without being extraordinarily boring.
Dejavu.
I generally install MS Office Fonts, some Adobe Fonts and then Fira Code Nerd Font too.
Not common, but Modern DOS is a great nostalgic family of pixel-oriented fonts for terminals and such.
JetBrains Mono NF masterrace represents!
Honestly if I have to choose only one mono font family to use for the rest of my natural life, JetBrains Mono without a shred of a doubt.
