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
Jetbrains Mono Nerd Font!!!
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.
For real, a good font.
Terminus, always, bitmap supremacy
I use 0xProto because it looks nice
IBM Plex Sans/Serif/Mono everywhere!
I don't think I've ever seen such a hard sell for a font.
looks meh, isn't libre. pass.
Any is it not variable?
Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.
The default 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.
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
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:
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.
Fira Code is seriously awesome. I love how it is delightfully quirky. Not too much, just enough to give it plenty of character without becoming weird, annoying, or hard to read.
I also really like how it is more wide than most. If I'm supposed to finish all my lines at 80 characters there's no point in using something that condensed.
Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.

Well, there's Fira Sans, but I don't know if it's what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I've used it as a GUI typography for some time.
Yeah, Fira Code gang!
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.
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)
KDE Plasma Hack masterrace
HELLO I AM HACK NICE TO MEET YOU
spends all day comparing fonts, instead of working
Damn you, Lemmy!!!!!
Yes, it's fun and my brain can convince itself that it's productive too. How can I work if I don't have the perfect programming font?
Along the same lines as your link - I really enjoyed playing out this font tournament, and found a few new ones I like - https://www.codingfont.com/
Ah, great link! Thanks! I also decided to try out a new 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.
I hate the Ubuntu font soooooo much
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Noto Sans
Default font: Inter Monospaced font: JetBrains Mono NL (I don't like ligatures, ask me if you want elaboration)
Go Mono.
if anyone has other recommendations for slab serif monospaced vector fonts i'm all ears.
Ubuntu and Adwaita fonts are my favorite
DejaVu Sans Mono. Open source, good Unicode support, clear distinctions between characters ("iI1oO0").
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.
Hell yeah! The Ubuntu mono is really easy to read, and there aren't that many sans-serif fonts that differentiate l and I well.
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 once did comic sans for a while because I am not highly typographically sensitive and wanted to mess about, but I usually like a mono serif typeface for the terminal, most recently Noto.
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?
Not a font, but this.
I think I'm using Iosevka in the terminal at the moment, although it's maybe a bit too narrow for my tastes. For GUI I use San Francisco Pro (Apple font)
Edit: now trying Plex Mono in the terminal and I like it. It feels more like a "normal" font.
Fuck Ubuntu.
Debian with open dyslexic font.
Fuck Ubuntu.
so you want more ubuntu-based distros?
Can't wait for GeodadBuntu.
I'm aware of this study, and I doubt their conclusions because of such a small sample size.
The font helps me, so I use it. Someone went through the trouble of making it, and other people use it. It must help others as well.
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.
For me my favourite monospace fonts are B612 Mono, Oxygen Mono, and Fira Code/Mono. Currently I use B612 in vscodium and Oxygen in the terminal
^ this is the correct choice.
This is it right here. Most comfortable font I've ever used.
I'm constantly switching back and forth between Hack and Fira Code.
In my terminal and 99% of what I write? IBM Courier 12. I grew up with a Selectric, moved to use WordPerfect (with the white text on blue background), and still just stick with it. I will tolerate Courier New 12. I get very ticked at Liberation Mono because it's almost okay.
Everything not monospace is some variety of Helvetica.
anybody with 6x13 and tahoma :p
That's actually a really good font
I like the M Plus Code Font personally.
For terminal I currently use JetBrains Mono. I also used Fira Code and Source Code Pro in the past.
In GUI apps I use Inter right now. Previously used Roboto for a long time.
Topaz-NG says hello
For my terminal I use roboto mono nerd fonts.
Caskaydia Cove for me. Because "Cascadia" is a reserved font name in Windows for some reason.
misc fixed
Monaco Ligaturized Nerd Font
I use Cascadia Code/Mono from Microsoft because I'm degenerate
been rocking suse's font recently.
Mononoki for terminal, ubuntu for gui
