Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I am also picky about what fonts I use, but only those that I use.

My requirements are

  1. Monospace (every character has same width)
  2. 1 !~= l and 0 !~= O and l !~= I (read "!~=" as "isn't similar to")

I usually use Liberation Mono, Adwaita Mono and Source Code Pro. I also really like Terminess Nerd Mono, but it only looks good if line width equals to 1 pixel. It's really only meant for fixed resolution.


Well, Terminess isn't doing so well with 1 and l.

Mouse pointer... eh, anyway.

I think attempting to read your second point gave me an annuerysm

You read non-code text in mono space? Who hurt you?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

I just like predictably sized text. It makes more sense to me to have document width in characters rather than in inches.

I only use 3270. It is the one true font. At least for the terminal.
