WOW dkeg.... those colors seem "brighter" than your regular ones, the FG and the orange color in particular is kawaii.

Boxxy font definitely suits your style.

wux, yes, tmux. Plain, minimal status bar. IRC is weechat

frank, I do still have some brighter, but yes, many are lower contrast. I think because I do most them at night.

Bacon mentioned fixed and I just tried it again. It looks very nice in the terminal. They are already installed by default and used on almost every Linux distribution in the tty.

^ Great music, by the way.

^^ fixed is to fonts what xterm is to terminals, or a Golf 2 is to cars :D it works, doesn't start a revolution, and it's inexpensive.

Thanks Gekko and yes Bacon.

I think I have a little project, trying many of the great bitmap fonts.

Now it is Source Code Pro and yes Wuxy it is crispy sexy.

yeah looks nice, can look a little widely s p a c e d out at times, mostly for GTK apps though.

Anyone here using Ubuntu fonts or Cantarell? I actually like both.

^ ubuntu mono is my next choice without installing anything, think cantarell is the gnome3 default, so yeah looks fine.

Where is the love for Inconsolata?
I think it's in the debain repos as ttf-inconsolata or fonts-inconsolata. I prefer the tweaked version called Inconsolata-g, coupled with Solarized.

Hmm... source code pro looks sweet.

^ "feel the power of the Source Code" :)

^^ inconsolata and anonymous-pro, excellent stuff

An old friend, Droid Sans Mono directly from the repos. I do not know why they changed the name in sid to *fonts-droid-fallback*. In Jessie it is still called *fonts-droid*.

True love for inconsolata indeed.

^ Something's weird with that package. That fallback thing puts a DroidSans.ttf file outside fonts directory and into the fonts the old Droid types are missing. Old configs for this font into .Xresources don't work properly.

^ Droid fonts are not developed anymore upstream (for Android). No kidding. The -fallback is apparently something to keep the users of Droid fonts happy. The replacement is Noto.

Good to know. Thanks, Bacon. Gonna try noto or look for a replacement.

jmk neep - available in the repos

^ actually looks good embolden. bitmaps normal failing for me (although vectors aren't always perfectly emboldened also)

Monospace and Noto, just FWIW.

Somehow I prefer Droid.
