[09:15] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[16:19] <cry0xen> whats the best terminal font
[16:22] <ogra> the one you can read best ?
[16:58] <Walex> I personally really like Ubuntu Mono, and the other Ubuntu fonts, they are well hinted.
[16:58] <Walex> Which matters for people who don't like anti-aliasing.
[16:59] <lotuspsychje> there's also an eyecandy side on fonts, the users choice aswell
[17:00] <Walex> sure, but legibility is less subjective than eyecandy
[17:01] <Walex> I am very grateful to Canonical for the Ubuntu font set, it is really good.
[17:02] <Walex> DejaVu Sans Mono is also good and well hinted.
[17:05] <cry0xen> i like ubuntu font set too. specially its a great combination with fira sans (firefox font)
[17:07] <Walex> Fira is nice but not as well hinted IIRC.
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> !info fontmatrix
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> cool app^
[17:14] <Walex> BTW a simple way to test a FontConfig font: xterm -fs 10 -fa 'Courier New' -e 'ls -l / && sleep 100'

[17:23] <Walex> to list all installe mono fonts: fc-list :spacing=mono family style | sort -u -df
[17:23] <Walex> to list all installed FontConfig mono fonts: fc-list :spacing=mono family style | sort -u -df
[17:30] <Walex> AH Firamono seems well hinted too, but it is only available in R and B styles. I prefer typefaces that have all four (R, I, B, BI) fonts.
[17:37] <Walex> These are the typefaces on my system that have the full set: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KxqywvvxjQ/
[17:39] <Walex> They are almost all variants of Courier...
[17:40] <Walex> Actually this is a more complete list, including the "Oblique" ones: fc-list :spacing=mono family style | sed 's/,.*//' | sort -u -df | grep 'Bold.[IO]'

[17:43] <Walex> Lucida Sans Typewriter is also nice.
[19:24] <cry0xen> what do you mean by hinted?
