What type of font does /g/ use for UI? I recently switched to

Monospace, always monospace.

They both have their uses.

is there a nice, smooth monospace for daily use?
I'm used to Courier New, but everything looks like code.

In my monospace folder i have
Anonymous Pro,
PT Mono,
Ubuntu Mono,
Bowman,
Modenine,
Monkey,
White Rabbit.

As far as which i will use, i dunno yet.
Haven't gone and decided yet.

Anonymous Pro has been my goto monospace font for some time now. I think it looks nice.

>>55652087
Pretty good font.

>>55651920
Is there actually anything more autistic than using monospace outside of editors and the console?

>>55652737
There's nothing autistic about using it as a system font.
You'd have a point if you said using it as an article font, or a font for content with considerable text that has a reading purpose and a reading only purpose.
But beyond that, it's bullshit to call it autistic.

>>55652087
Is it just me or do those 'm's look really silly? Like they are scaled down from a bigger font?

>>55651961
I really like DejaVu Sans Mono.

Liberation Sans

Probably because:
a) your previous font was shit,
b) your text rendering settings were shit (I see a lot of people's screenshots where well-designed fonts get absolutely massacred by absolutely atrocious hinting / pixel snapping / subpixel antialiasing settings, which unfortunately are the defaults on many Linux distros).

Also, fixed-width font for UI is a waste of space.

I think the issue is that the other characters are kind of scaled up to fit the full width of each letter, but m already fills the full space naturally so it looks cramped by comparison.

Why is there still no editor which can correctly align text without relying on by-character positioning and monospaced fonts besides Visual Studio?

>>55652737
Try doing logo, image, any kind of nice text setting without monospace font.

>>55655829
There can be if you learn emacs lisp.

>>55651961
Consolas/Monospace/Ubuntu mono :^)

I thought monospaced fonts were equal width. What does the proportional designate?

>>55651920
>Proportional monospace
What the fuck is this shit? that isn't monospaced at all.

>>55651961
Ubuntu Mono looks pretty nice

on Windows not so much though

Guys come on.
The top line is in a proportional font.
The bottom line is in a monospace font

>>55655829
Because anyone who would prefer adding this much complexity to an editor and breaking all legacy instead of simply using a monospaced font would never be a competent programmer.

I like source sans pro

It's open source from adobe -- Good stuff
