Fonts

Some of the ones I've been looking at so far:

-Helvetica Neue (not free or open source, but always a decent choice)
-Roboto
-Droid Sans
-Open Sans
-Ubuntu
-Fontin-Sans

Using Ubuntu for browsers

werks fine here

Apparently Mozilla's open source font Fira is highly praised by typography nerds. I honestly didn't even know it existed.

The only good answer is mathew carter's Charter.

And Adobe has Source Sans and Source Code that are open source and supposedly pretty good.

For Windows (10), is it a good idea to go with FreeType/mactype? I honestly can't tell if there's any reason to bother with them.

That's an ugly R.

Ubuntu fonts are pretty good. So are the Droid ones from Google. DejaVu fonts are okay. I also have to use MS core fonts for school. Calibri is actually pretty good looking for documents.

Im not an autist so i use this

OP here: still following. Thanks for the suggestions and I'll definitely be picking up most of them. I think I'm going to choose Fira Sans as my main font.

I've been using adobe garamond pro on my ereader

Anyone have other font suggestions?

I tried googling for some good reading fonts, but all I get is spammy top 10 bullshit links google is fucking worthless these days

Basically what you already see here.

A lot of what you like for heavy reading is personal preference, but I prefer Helvetica-esque fonts. So that or, if you're able to get what is mentioned in the thread, something like Fira Sans.

Default Windows fonts, Segoe UI and Arial they are, I think. They look okay and I don't care enough about them to actually go through the pain and effort to change them throughout the entire system and all programs.

I use a tweaked Overlock on my phone. I just like it and all it took was replace one or two files in /system/fonts.

many sites look terrible with custom fonts. theres text over text and buttons are not where they should be or text is too big

>>57115823
Most normie sites look even worse if you don't allow scripting or whatever it is they do to offload 40% of the page onto 33 different fucking websites.

>>57115823
It's better to stick to defaults: put your preferred fonts in the settings to use when sites don't specify. You're better off doing the rest on a case by case basis with Stylish or something or else you'll end up with that clusterfuck. There aren't many times when I genuinely can't stand the font a site is using nowadays, anyways — people tend to stick to the same few things all over.
