    This reminds me of people who used Computer Modern to make it look like they had written their paper using LaTeX to get better marks. It usually worked

    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.

    Gotta be unifont for me. Love those crispy pixels, and it manages to do monospace without being fugly as hell.

      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.

    I used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.

    Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?

        I’m aware of this study, and I doubt their conclusions because of such a small sample size.

        The font helps me, so I use it. Someone went through the trouble of making it, and other people use it. It must help others as well.

      Caskaydia Cove for me. Because “Cascadia” is a reserved font name in Windows for some reason.

    Hell yeah! The Ubuntu mono is really easy to read, and there aren’t that many sans-serif fonts that differentiate l and I well.
