Agree. I know I use Menlo on macOS but I’ve never needed to change it. Same for Consolas when I used Windows, these fonts are just sane defaults. On any Linux

On any Linux I tried, the default mono fonts were always so awful it would trigger my fiddling nerve. They’re either too wide or too thin or too round, they never seem to get the perfect balance of Menlo or Consolas
- kitsunesoba 4y agoIt's been improving in a lot of distros recently but it used to be that the default proportional font on most Linux distros was Vera Sans or DejaVu sans which always drove me nuts because of how wide the glyphs of those fonts are compared to just about any UI font used in commercial operating systems in the past two or three decades. It was enough of a peeve that when it came to Linux distros, I used to be inclined toward Ubuntu and Ubuntu variants for the simple fact that they had Ubuntu Sans, a much better UI font, preinstalled.
