I used to like going through interesting fonts, but now I want reasonable Unicode support in a font, and given the immense effort to cover Unicode, there aren’t many out there. Yeah, falling back to other fonts for missing glyphs helps, but it’s not as good.
Probably different if you’re a designer doing one image where you know all the text that you’re gonna be using.
Me: any font is fine, as long as it’s readable
Now I understand why I don’t have friends on the fediverse :D
any
dreamfont will do
I was talking about my tech hobbies (home server, mechanical keyboards, etc) with a workplace colleague and she asked me “so what’s your favourite font”. Had to say “I don’t know, but I absolutely love that I’ve just been asked that question”.
Consolas.
I’m a big fan of monospace and I really like how none of the characters can be confused with any others.
It’s a decent looking font as well as very functional.
ooo i love monospaces. my current favorite font is Mom’s Typewriter

Inconsolata is an open source version of Consola. I guess I’m using that when I’m not using a microsoft product.
Garamond is nice.
I used firacode for my resume and so far no one has noticed enough to being it up lol.
This one’s got HUGE serifs.
I’m a kerning man, myself.
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark.
Nothing beats Jokerman. Truly unhinged
Sometimes you need the delicacy of Curlz MT tho
You know, I’m something of a Bank Gothic guy myself.
No idea why.
Most definitely not because I grew up on Stargate.
Marathon (Halo’s predecessor) used it too. Lot of sci-fi stuff.
They have kerns for miles.
I’ve just realised me and my partner probably judge fonts more than is strictly normal…
I heard about metric compatible fonts recently, which made me realize that I didn’t have to use Liberation Serif for everything
