Following the steps of the terminal font topic, I would like to know what font (or fonts) you are using for weird GUI stuff such as a web browser or crazy things like LibreOffice Writer.
I know we have at least one fonts enthusiast here (Ivan).

Always Droid Sans 9 or 10.

I Like my fonts too, I try to stick to the same family of fonts.

Although I'm not now - on the lappy, terminal is DeJaVu mono.
Web is dejavu sans, but have adobe source as mono, and urw palladino (on the bbq arrogance spin)
gtk is source sans. so nearly the same.

workstation is ubuntu mono and ubuntu sans, for web, gtk and terminal.
Obviously little more organised on there.

As of now:

GTK: Linux Libertine
Emacs: Source Code Pro
LaTeX: Bistream Charter

seriously, I don't know. Maybe Dejavu sans or Liberation. Whatever is pulled in by the browser :)

Right now in Iceweasel its Bitstream Vera Sans Roman. As of yesterday it was Proggy Clean. Doesn't always much matter since the 'allow websites to use their fonts over selected' is ticked.

In Iceweasel I am using Caviar Dreams, but as with dkeg, it doesn't matter much because I am allowing websites to use their own fonts :)

As for GTK, I am using uushi 6 pt.

^ So how do you like the fonts on our forums? :D

^ Did... did you just change them to Caviar Dreams? Or did I do something to Firefox? :D
The BBQ is looking sharp... I'm liking it B)

Edit: I am an idiot. Don't touch the cookies, though.

should be this normally:
font-family: 'Inconsolata', 'Monospace';
thats what chrome renders it as anyway - maybe a look in devtools, or a scrot?

^ Ah, it is monospace. For some reason the font looks quite different in Iceweasel than Chromium. MB's post was nicely timed in with me switching back to Hot Dog from Fedora 21, so I quickly guessed that due to the font difference one of the smaller Caviar Dreams fonts were used. Sorry!

Edit: Here is what confused me :D http://imgur.com/3t5AbJN http://imgur.com/eQKtIK6

Font is different betwixt Chromium and Firefox. Sorry about that!

Some time ago I switched back to a classic, DejaVu Sans, to be more precise, DejaVu Sans Condensed for GUI and browsers and DejaVu Sans Mono Book. It renders all characters in a beautiful way that I appreciate this font again. It was the default on so many "user friendly" distributions before they all switched to something fancy like Droid,Ubuntu etc.

@Dr.: Fedora and fonts, don't get me started. :)

GTK: Tewi

Web: Monospace / Monaco

@Dr For some weird reason, xulrunner based browsers renders fonts bigger ( better? ) than the ones based on chromium.

@ivan Ah! I see! So it was a Fedora problem. I have a strong dislike for that distro. Replacing it with openSUSE 13.2; having all sorts of bugs. When it comes to bloat, I am a YaSTifarian and I hate yum.

@stark Thanks for that tip! Yet another good reason to stick with Mozilla over Google :D

Oh, Suse, just the same as Fedora regarding fonts. ;)

Actually it is not true. It is a Webkit issue on Debian. You need "my" tweaks to make the fonts look the same as in Firefox. There is no difference how they render fonts. All Webkit based browsers on plain Debian render fonts worse than in Firefox.

Yeah, and I think in Ubuntu they look crisp, too. Wasn't it the problem regarding pango or so? I bet it is :D

That's for sure.

Not sure but I know Pango is a bad animal.

^ Oh yes. But with your Infinality trick, fonts are pretty much awesome everywhere here.

^ Thanks and so true. :)
