## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This page describes fonts I tested for usability in
|
|
a terminal emulator. The ratings may be highly subjective
|
|
and describe my way to find good fonts.
|
|
|
|
## How I tested
|
|
|
|
I'm using a small script named **urxvt-font-change**,
|
|
which is part of the nsbin git repository. This script
|
|
allows me to dynamically change the font in the running
|
|
terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Objectives
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of different objectives for choosing
|
|
a font that suits you. For me, the following objectives
|
|
are interesting: Is the font usable for ...
|
|
|
|
* small screens
|
|
* presentations
|
|
* my eyes
|
|
|
|
The last point is probably mostly subjective, a font
|
|
must "look good" to me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Font list
|
|
|
|
And here's the actual font table:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[!table data="""
|
|
Font name | Size | Recommended | Remarks
|
|
xft:Bitstream Vera Serif:style=Roman | big | | Too much whitespace
|
|
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[!tag unix]]
