What fonts are you currently using on your system? Which do you think is best for the terminal or for your desktop environment?
(updates) Ok I think I’m a fan of Ubuntu nerd fonts right now
Pusab (I’m a gd player)
Whatever the default font is
VictorMono, has a cool cursive, mono spaced font.
Ubuntu
I’ve been using Fantasque sans mono for a bunch of years now.
I don’t have a favorite system font, am I meant to? I did try to play with fonts at one point but the process of finding fonts and then figuring out how to install them was a bit much.
For desktop, I’ve liked Lato, Source Sans Pro, and Inter to name three.
For terminal, I used Iosevka’s customizer to create a gorgeous Fira Mono-like variant that I call Iosevka Firesque:
[buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque] family = "Iosevka Firesque" spacing = "term" serifs = "sans" noCvSs = true exportGlyphNames = false [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants] inherits = "ss05" [buildPlans.IosevkaFiresque.variants.design] capital-g = "toothless-corner-serifless-hooked" capital-q = "crossing-baseline" g = "single-storey-serifed" long-s = "bent-hook-tailed" cyrl-a = "single-storey-earless-corner-serifed" cyrl-ve = "standard-interrupted-serifless" cyrl-capital-ze = "unilateral-serifed" cyrl-ze = "unilateral-serifed" cyrl-capital-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed" cyrl-en = "top-left-bottom-right-serifed" cyrl-capital-er = "open-serifless" cyrl-er = "earless-corner-serifless" cyrl-capital-u = "cursive-flat-hook-serifless" cyrl-u = "curly-motion-serifed" cyrl-capital-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed" cyrl-e = "unilateral-bottom-serifed" brace = "straight" ampersand = "upper-open" at = "threefold" cent = "open"
Fira Sans / FiraGO by Mozilla, and the new SUSE font by SUSE.
Fira Code and Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font for monospace. For other uses, I’m usually good with whatever the system ships with.
I find comic sans mono actually looks surprisingly nice for coding and terminal.
Hack nerd font is my go to for terminal use.
Lato, League Spartan, League Gothic are my three most used fonts by a wide margin. Lato and its variety of weights for most things, League when I am doing design work and need a cleaner title or header.
Lately ive been weirdly taken with TT2020 Style G, which is an odd name for a no-name font that replicates an old imperfect typewriter. For whatever reason, switching my writing software to that (Manuscript) suddenly fired up my writing flow.
Fantasque
