I used to spend a lot of time fiddling with visual properties of my desktop in the past. Nowadays I just install Xubuntu, add i3 and mostly use it as it is. So the terminal happens to be white on black and the Emacs black on white. I don't think about it, but apply the rule they give for healthier sitting: The next position is the healthiest one (meaning switch often). I don't even know whether my terminal and my Ema…

I'm forking envypn[0] to make some characters more recognizable or just give them some personality (a and g, for example), and doing a slanted version. Slow process since I'm not using any graphical editor whatsoever but editing it "by hand". Hope to release it soon though.

For IDEs and text editors, I use Dank Mono[0] 14pt. On my personal machine, my terminal font is Cozette[1] 13pt, while on my company machine it's Dank Mono[0] 14pt. In the past I've also used SF Mono[2], Fira Code[3] and Anonymous Pro[4] among others.

Grumpy curmudgeon here still using DejaVu (and it's Vera Sans ancestor before that). I'm sure there's lots of good choices, but DejaVu is great, it's everywhere and it's free. Just don't see a lot of value in shopping around.

Me too! DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font and when I want serifs, GoMono Nerd Font.
