whitewolfak47 you really should fix your terminal font
@tinfoil-hat :-
Well, that's a strange observation to make. I was just wondering, like; who's using his terminal.....him, or you?
Remember; we ALL have our own individual preferences ("one man's meat", etc).
Anyhoo...

Yes, alternative fonts can indeed enhance your 'user experience' quite considerably. I've been collecting them for years.
I'm using JetBrains Mono here, which I dug up over at FontSquirrel several years ago. You'll probably tell me you don't like THIS one, either!

I think what he meant was not the font being used but rather the formatting. Though it may be intentional, it is easy to see how it can be thought of as unintentional and not ideal. Don't be too hasty to jump to the conclusion it is an insult; it is more likely to be an observation of his formatting "issue".@tinfoil-hat :-

Aye, you may be right. There was no malice intended in the comment, but it's always seemed a bit pointless - to me, at least - one member 'picking holes' in another's choices.
I have used certain fonts myself in the early days, several years ago now, which gave that very 'spaced-out' look to the lettering. Nowt wrong with the style of the font itself, but there are noticeable gaps between all the letters.....this, I found, was a function of the font itself, and there wasn't much you were able to do with it.
Hence, my eventual search around the web for a more suitable 'monospace'-type font that rendered correctly within the shell. There's a ton of 'ordinary' fonts out there, but there seems to be a rather limited supply of monospace fonts available. 'JetBrains Mono' has appeared within the last 5 years, and for me, it fits the bill to a tee.

My favourite everyday font is this one:-

'Exo 2' is one of the nicest, tidiest modern fonts I've found for a long while, and is what I use all the time now. Don't get me wrong; I've nowt against the long-standing 'defaults' like DejaVu Sans, etc, but such as these seem to be similar to the standard, default font that M$ uses across the Windows system. Functional - it gets the job done - but in itself, it's nothing special...
A lifetime of graphic design for a hobby has made me rather more critical of general appearance than most folks, I suppose. Ah, hell; I'm just kinda "fussy" in that respect..!

I do 3D CAD part design for my robotics team; it is really great. I actually designed and 3D printed the case and many parts for my first Linux laptop, prior to buying IBM. I too am very critical of design, any of my friends can attest to that.

Didn't mean to be disrespectful, but this kind of font displaying reminded me of then I had a faulty font configuration in my Urxvt .Xressources. This looked to me like it wasn't intended, so I pointed it out.

I've been enjoying a new wallpaper - night sky with full moon hiding behind some trees and clouds. I took the pic with my phone the day before that lunar eclipse we had not too long ago. Other than the wallpaper, it's the same old desktop.
@tinfoil-hat :-
Actually, on closer inspection, I noticed.....everywhere there's an "m", the letter immediately following is squashed up tight against it, isn't it?
It's not just an isolated incident. Every time an "m" is typed, the next letter is "hugging it" tightly. Very odd.....
So; you could be right about mis-configuration.....or, it could just be a badly designed bitmap. No way of telling! Anyways; my apologies.
