Programming Fonts

I use Microsoft fonts because they are the only fonts I know of (aside from Ubuntu) that don't look like complete shit with antialiasing turned off.

Fonts are down to personal taste, but just use Inconsolata for everything.
Also install gentoo

I hate forced line wraps and horizontal scrolling, most monospace fonts are just too wide for me.
M+ MN Type-1 Regular mplus-fonts.osdn.jp/design.html#mplus_mn1

I also don't write matrixes all day and I find it much easier to read non-monospaced fonts, so I widened the brackets a little bit and replaced the quotation marks in Liberation Sans.

No. There is no reason to use bitmap fonts for programming.
(Bitmap fonts may be useful on very edge case scenarios for embedded hardware where you want minimal code/resource to render any output/text. For example digital watches and clocks use bitmap fonts.)

You'll feel like epic computer pro and can look down upon other people from your basement.

No matter what font you use, my handwriting on a toilet paper looks more readable than this.

They're much sharper and thus clearer at small sizes. Some people also just like the look.

I use em on terminals if I'm on a minimal wm setup with no energy to setup font rendering properly (which is usually done by DEs or infinality) and terminus just looks right in the terminal, it's clear, no extra stuff to configure and I can tell all the characters apart and it doesn't cause fucked up @ symbols or anything like that for example. If I'm really configuring a machine (gentoo most likely) then I'll go the extra mile for infinality or a DE and install inconsolata, liberation-mono etc. on it and use those. Terminus is just very good at what it does, it doesn't work everywhere.

That's my 20 yen on the issue

They're handmade to look good at their size.
Or they would be if their makers bothered anti aliasing them.

How do you do that?
Having terminal commands like that in the box and shit?
I have just been cutting and pasting.

My new favorite, thanks user.
