Why would I want that

I love Monaco but the fucking font triggers me with tmux. I want straight lines for my windows, and Monaco doesn't do that.

You are missing the point dude... The guy is saying that is an open source font that doesn't look like shjt and doesn't give you "tofu"

You're using the wrong character for pane borders

Monaco looks like blurry unreadable shit at small point sizes.

I have done an extensive search for the best programmer font. DejaVu Sans Mono is it. Not only does the font align nicely along the horizontal lines, typographically, but it is one of the few fonts that doesn't have completely wacky line spacing at the top and bottom that I have to override by hand in my editors on any platform I've tried it on. This is incredibly important if you like ASCII or ANSI art, because otherwise the line-drawing blocks will all be physically separated from each other and look like complete shit.

If your favorite font doesn't render the box-drawing test on the "Box-drawing character" Wikipedia page correctly, replace it. (I'd paste it here, but this board thinks the post is spam)

Nope. Menlo is better. They took DejaVu Sans Mono and fixed the warts.

he probably used it with font-smoothing still enabled, hence him saying "blurry"

he shouldn't use font-smoothing on sizes that small, it's a known rule and people like him should be hanged.

Not caring.

Nothing is a good as PragmataPro. Input font comes close. No regret for paying 200$ for it. I want to try Operator Mono soon.

Actually, I don't use ligatures (as my editor doesn't support it).
