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

Gohu Font Nerd is a nice small bitmap font I'm fond of. Only issue is the size for high DPI monitors, but the JetBrainsMono nerd font is a nice vector font that's easy on the eyes (quite stereotypical/cliché, but that's for a reason).

Interesting. What makes you use bitmaps as a system font?

Gohu:

I get it for TTYs. Though for TTYs nothing will take me away from Terminus :]

I like the aesthetic of bitmaps. Personal preference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
