For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.

[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]

    If you like Comic Code you may also enjoy Fantasque Sans Mono. It has a lot of character and feels comfortable to read.

      Oh that font looks awesome! I’ll definitely be downloading this and giving it a try, thank you!

      Edit: I need to remember how to use FontPatcher to manually patch the “non-curly K” variant, its been forever since I did this process 😅

        There’s a link to the non-loop k ttf on the downloads page. I use that variant too; I find the looped k a bit too over the top lol

          Right, my apologies I meant to clarify that further - I meant that I needed to use FontPatcher to make it a “nerd font”, so that it has some extra glyphs for various TUIs that utilize them! Somehow I missed that in my original edit, whoops!
