Terminus, always, bitmap supremacy

Hyperlegible Mono

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.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 23 hours ago

Ooo, I might have to put this up against Fira Code at work tomorrow.

[-] callyral@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

I use 0xProto because it looks nice

[-] svcg 6 points 1 day ago

The default font.

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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

Utter insanity

[-] Neptr 66 points 2 days ago

For real, a good font.

I don't think I've ever seen such a hard sell for a font.

[-] chocosoldier 1 points 1 day ago

looks meh, isn't libre. pass.

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago

This is the best font IMO. I used to use source code pro, but I switched to Plex a few years ago and it's all I want to use now.

[-] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

I use the nerdfont variant for my terminal, it works rather well.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 23 hours ago

I was not familiar with that page. I love this in the nerdiest way possible.

I’m a JetBrains Mono fan. And whatever font I use has GOTTA have ligatures. I love ligatures.

[-] Arkhive 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] cosmicrose 2 points 1 day ago

I’m the same way, it just feels right.

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? ugly font

ubuntu font for comparison: beautiful font

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 14 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] quantenzitrone@lemmings.world 2 points 20 hours ago

yeah it mimics how humans write on paper, but i'm on a computer

EXTERMINATE?

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago
[-] superminerJG@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Default font: Inter Monospaced font: JetBrains Mono NL (I don't like ligatures, ask me if you want elaboration)

[-] bazzett@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[-] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago

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.

Yeah, Fira Code gang!

[-] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Yep, been using Fira Code for years and I love it.

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.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

DejaVu Sans Mono. Open source, good Unicode support, clear distinctions between characters ("iI1oO0").

[-] jonion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] paequ2@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

spends all day comparing fonts, instead of working

Damn you, Lemmy!!!!!

Go Mono.

if anyone has other recommendations for slab serif monospaced vector fonts i'm all ears.

[-] seadx6@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Ubuntu and Adwaita fonts are my favorite

[-] tfm@europe.pub 12 points 2 days ago

I hate the Ubuntu font soooooo much

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything

[-] StarMerchant938@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Gotta be unifont for me. Love those crispy pixels, and it manages to do monospace without being fugly as hell.

[-] protogen420 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] scheep@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

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?
