Alejandro (a.k.a KZKG^Gaara)

It is, as expected, fonts of fixed width (fixed width) or monospace (monospace).

1. Inconsolate

sudo apt-get install ttf-inconsolate

2.Envy Code R

3. Droid Sans Monkey

sudo apt-get install ttf-droid

4. AnonymousPro

5. DejaVu Sans Monkey

sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu

6.Liberation Mono

sudo apt-get install ttf-liberation

7. Terms

sudo apt-get install xfonts-terminus console-terminus

And you, what type of font do you use on your terminal?

    I even used the very expensive and not free PragmataTT (which the author boasts saying is the best for programming, but for me it is lousy because of how thin). I prefer Profont, although it is a bit wide I love it, it is pixel type (which gives it more readability in small screen sizes) and it looks very elegant and legible.

    I tune the profile to my terminal to leave it with green letters and a semi-transparent black background, the truth is that the font never crossed my mind, changing it.

    Well, it's not free, but the ones I like the most and the ones I program with more comfortably is Monaco.
