This reminds me of people who used Computer Modern to make it look like they had written their paper using LaTeX to get better marks. It usually worked
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 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?
yeah it mimics how humans write on paper, but i’m on a computer
The default font.
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.
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.
Another edit: Apparently there also a monospaced version of SF Pro. Just realized that it’s the default in the macOS Terminal app. There’s even a version with ligatures and Nerd Font symbols: https://github.com/shaunsingh/SFMono-Nerd-Font-Ligaturized
Crazy
Utter insanity
Jetbrains Mono Nerd Font!!!
I use 0xProto because it looks nice
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.
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 used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.
Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?
Terminus, always, bitmap supremacy
DejaVu Sans Mono. Open source, good Unicode support, clear distinctions between characters (“iI1oO0”).
