I always use Windows fonts with Linux. What font do you use?
I normally design and create my own fonts before I start a new document or open console.
I use Arch Linux, btw.You code them by hand in the terminal before installing the DE right?
Exactly. Using a GUI is too imprecise; it’s made for plebeians. I enter vector coordinates directly into the terminal.
Preferably by sending signals over serial port and couple of wires.
I’m a KDE Plasma user and it’s using Noto Fonts by default IIRC. So that’s what I use.
Same, but for terminal I use JetBrains mono
Whatever is the default, as long as that is not some comic sans or whatever that Samsung font abomination was.
Ubuntu font. Ubuntu font best font.
Inter Display - all UI stuff, it is designed for max legibility on screens. In Debian repos as fonts-inter
PragmataPro - all monospace/code. Paid for it 15 years ago and worth it, best mono font
Utopia Std - all serif document text. Purchased all the way back in 1998 and used for every doc i’ve ever written.
Props also to the complete IBM Plex family which is solid for sans, serif, and mono versions.
My favorites:
Mono:

Period. Full stop. A line of nothing but exclamation points. The Iosevka family blows every other mono-width font out of the water with at LEAST one, if not more, of its extremely customizable variations.
F/W:

I am a fan of noto fonts.
I use Open Sans for System and in LibreOffice https://www.opensans.com/ .
And these are good resources as well, https://fontlibrary.org/I actually like to use Comic Neue for personal stuff. https://comicneue.com/
Ubuntu is another nice font, which I like to use for more serious documents. https://design.ubuntu.com/font
For system fonts I use whatever comes preinstalled. I don’t modify the font defaults in any way.
I normally use the Deja Vu fonts. I do have the windows fonts installed, but that’s only for some wine programs that need them.
Noto, Andale, San Francisco Source, Fira etc. There are so many nice fonts out there, no need to stick to Windows fonts.
I know that most people will write off San Francisco because “Apple bad,” but I really do love it. Simple, looks great, and does its job with nothing crazy. Same goes for New York. Credit where it is due: I think Apple makes great fonts.
FiraCode Nerd for mono and Noto Sans for everything else.
Nerdfonts ofc.
I honestly really like Ubuntu, not sure why, but its very smooth. I kinda want to try using open dyslexic though… I currently use Fira code for monospace though.
I like the Ubuntu font for the system, but in the terminal and my IDE I use JetBrains Mono.
