    In my terminal and 99% of what I write? IBM Courier 12. I grew up with a Selectric, moved to use WordPerfect (with the white text on blue background), and still just stick with it. I will tolerate Courier New 12. I get very ticked at Liberation Mono because it’s almost okay.

    Everything not monospace is some variety of Helvetica.

    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 compile Terminus otb my self with centered * and ~ patch and the curved l patch, crisp as reference block used to calibrate calipers.

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

    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.

      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.
