#32Not open source or free but I find PragmataPro [0] to be absolutely gorgeous. Iosevka comes close but I don't think it'll ever be able to bridge the gap for me. [0] https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/
What makes you like Pragmata Pro better? Do you think it's almost $250 dollars better than Iosevka? Great fonts bring me a lot of joy, but Pragmata Pro always felt fairly ridiculously priced to me. I know the author put a lot of time into it, but 99% of the font's features are irrelevant to me (I'll never use Hebrew, for instance, or even the non-mono version of the font).
Essential PragmataPro has a reduced character set for €19. I do think it's $250 dollars better than Iosevka. What convinced me is manual hinting.

#35One of my favourite, Zemestro http://www.identifont.com/similar?6WX I like Lemon/Milk too https://www.dafont.com/lemon-milk.font And I'm an absolute fan of Futura https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futura_(typeface) The mix of Lemon Milk and Futura is awesome
I agree with Futura. I used Futura PT on my last set of business / calling cards and combined with the printing effects used the result is incredibly striking.

#36Any recommendations on bitmap fonts? I'm stuck with a crappy 1600x900 screen and the only fonts that doesn't look like garbage are fixed-width fonts like Terminus and Peep.

#37The Source family by Adobe is my favorite. It's one of the seemingly few open source Adobe fonts available: https://github.com/adobe-fonts
Source Code Pro (mono) in particular is my day-to-day workhorse, but I also use Source Sans. Not a huge fan of Serif fonts truthfully.
Iosevka family comes in a close second.

Wow that font is excellent.
Honestly I've never thought to buy a font unless I was using it for web or print... but I may have to buy that just for myself.

I'm a huge fan of Cozette [0] which is based on Dina which is based on Proggy - which both are good alternatives. I particularly like Cozette's goal of being a Bitmap Alternative to Nerd Fonts [1] as it lets me use it in a lot of places where icon glyphs are desired.
