Comment on Show HN: Monolisa v3 – a typeface for developers and creativesparent

Comments

I've taken recently to running bitmap Terminus (not the ttf) in my terminals. I find the lack of blurred edges to be extremely refreshing. My laptop has a pixel density of about 162 ppi, so normal fonts, especially in chrome on linux don't make me happy.

Do you recommend any specific bitmap coding fonts?

I use Cozette[1] at the moment, which is basically a modern form of Dina (the first bitmap font I started with ~15 years ago now). It is pretty nice, though they recently started adding some kanji and I don't particularly like the style they went with (maybe I should send a PR to support more and fix up the existing styles)...

Unless you're stuck on an annoying platform you could try adjusting the hinting.

Contrary to Apple's insistence, hidpi doesn't mean blurring the edges of fonts is okay.
