Nothing cuts it, there's always that tiny thing that bothers me, and I'm back with Ubuntu Mono.
- joshschreuder 9y agoYeah it's great isn't it? I've tried heaps of times over the last few years to switch and haven't found a font I like better than Ubuntu Mono.
- IgorPartola 9y agoOT question: a lot of fonts come in all possible formats. If I am just installing them on my macOS box, does it matter which format I install? Is there a reason to prefer say .woff2 over .ttf? Or are they functionally equivalent?
- pitaj 9y agowoff and woff2 are web font standards. I don't think they're supported by most operating systems.
- IgorPartola 9y agoWell fair enough, but what about TTF vs OTF?
- robin_reala 9y agoOpenType (otf) is more modern than TrueType (ttf) and supports more functionality and features within the font.
- IgorPartola 9y agoSo if installing a font locally, OTF is the way to go if it's available?
- robin_reala 9y agoYep!
