    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

    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.

    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.

      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

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

    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.

    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

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

      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.

        Sans has a variable variant and the other two do not, I think.
