any with a dotted zero, extra points for italic.
I always end up with SF Pro Display for my desktop. For terminal I’m happy with several mentioned here.
I know that this will anger some people, but I just use the defaults and I don't get why there are so many fonts, since they don't seem that much different to me.
I like Delugia for any monospace needs. It's a nerdfont, and it's nicely readable without looking too chunky.
Code new roman! It's so cosy, and readable. I am a sucker for fonts with the cursive styled 'a'
Anyone using Nimbus Sans?
It's actually preinstalled in a lot of systems. You can check via
gnome-font-viewer
or find /usr/share/fonts -name "*Nimbus*"
i want serifs. I use Go Mono for monospaced text. i've yet to find a good proportional slab serif font to match though.
By proportional slab serif do you mean unmonospacing the monospace like what Ubuntu does? I guess that's why Go Proportional wouldn't work being a sans serif
🟨 Go Mono
yeah just using the same characters but "squished" doesn't work since the serifs take up the character space. you need a font designed as proportional. slab serif just means that the serifs are squared rather than pointed like on Times.
Whatever comes default with the current system.
I don’t have a reason to move away from the Fedora defaults except for monospaced fonts.
Terminal wise, terminus is my default. It’s so clean, and it looks good without anti-aliasing.
Roboto Mono is my current preference for monospaced fonts.
Adobe Source Code Pro and JetBrains Mono are good alternatives as well.
Ubuntu Mono for terminal, code, and data, Open Sans for the rest
Fixedsys
Ohh, that's what that 8bit-y font is called.
...wait. Why would you use 8bit as a system font???

I love Cartograph CF for the terminal and code editor. I like the handwriting-style italic variant, and it has programming ligatures. And of course I like the way the font looks.
There is an open-source font, Victor Mono, that also has a handwriting-style italic variant and programming ligatures. Otherwise its style is quite different.
I switched to Commit Mono for Terminal not too long ago but I really like it. Otherwise I use Cantarell but only because it is default and I never felt the need to change it.
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.
I mostly use an android, and the default font is Ideal Sans Light. On my system, Arial Nova, Courier Prime, Helvetica Neue, Ideal Sans Book and a few others are regulars.
Every once in a while I get this itch which ends up in getting a new favourite font.
Verdana, Tahoma and Source code pro is good for eyes
Linux
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.
