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

    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 Code and Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font for monospace. For other uses, I’m usually good with whatever the system ships with.

    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.

    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.

      I always use Dejavu sans mono for terminal and programming too. I think its the best in terms of readability where indentation is important
