The best font I’ve used was a derivative of Menlo shipped with MobaXTerm called “MobaFont”

Some of the IBM Plex mono fonts aren’t bad though, I use those sometimes.

I’ve tried virtually all other fonts, like fira code and whatnot at certain points. Not that great.

In the 90s I used the 8514a font for the most part, and “fixed” on Sun workstations, however I usually use the 10x20 unifont that I hacked to dot the zero and other tweaks since my eyes aren’t what they used to be… fixed is 6x9 I think.

Someone made "Comic Mono", a monospace version of it. You can set some terminals like Putty to regular Comic Sans and it'll use it as fixed width, which will work but not look quite as good as Comic Mono.

Silicon Graphics "screen" font is pretty cool too. It's maybe bit ugly by today's standards but launching Irix desktop was so damn cool... You can find it via google.

Standard design for most of human scripts, nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary, what you would expect well designed

Beautiful and legible, I'd say it's the best serif out there

What Times New Roman should have been.

Good, but they tend to have a low x-height and closed counters which makes them them less legible at smaller sizes

"Discovered?" So there just out there, hiding, waiting for us to stumble across them?

I like Mono Fonts, and my favorite is Hacker. I'm glad somebody found it.
