What is your absolute favorite monospaced font?
I would like to try it! (if I have never used it...)
@afreytes It depends on what I'm using it for, but there's a monospace version of OpenDyslexic that I bet you haven't tried.

@howtophil YES!

Not on any of my Linux machines, and frankly I had forgotten about it so I thank you for reminding me!

@afreytes You can also convert ebooks/epubs using Calibre and have it as the font for the books (embedded in the epub). Lets me read faster without losing any comprehension. Also helps me speed-read faster... losing about the same level of comprehension because I need to practice speed-reading more

@wilson This is my current favorite. But I admit I have not used it on any of my Linux machines.
I will correct that soon.
Thank you!

@howtophil Yes, I feel like this is precisely how I first encountered the whole OpenDyslexic fonttype.

@afreytes Amiga Topaz 11 (NOT Topaz 8, that's ugly). Use with square pixel aspect ratio.
Second favorite is C64 ROM font, with NTSC pixel aspect ratio (7:9 tall pixels).

@isaackuo I still sometimes configure whatever terminal to have the C64 font and the blue on blue colorway.
I will have to try the Amiga font, which I'm almost sure I have never actually used.

@afreytes Monaspace! It’s very clever, its monospaced but uses OpenType to set glyph widths so that the overall tone of type looks even. I use it as the text face on my blog.

@cordelya oh, looks neat, and I've never used it before.
Will definitely try it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the recommendations!
Except for the Amiga.Topaz.11, I have all of these in my download folder as we speak, and I will be trying them out in the following weeks.
Thanks again, much obliged.

@afreytes Comic Mono. I actually like Comic Sans due in part to fond childhood associations with The Sims, on top of that one Vsauce video, though Comic Mono is definitely noticeably removed from Sans.

@lepidotos I don't hate Comic Sans... or Papyrus!
I feel like both have been bullied, and are perhaps victims of their own success, so to speak.

@Abstract_Bit già.
A onor del vero, è stato quasi sempre lo stesso, chiunque fosse al potere negli ultimi 20-30 anni, tranne, a memoria, cose minori. Potrei ricordarmi male però.

Today I turn 50. But don't worry, I learnt dealing with myself.
Mentally shaken, physically proven, spiritually unaddicted.
But I'm starting enjoying to be alive.

@jaredwhite longtime fan of your podcasts, Jared! I still keep "Just a Spec" in my podcast app wishing for new episodes 🤗

@krans@mastodon.me.uk That's a real and legitimate grievance, but it's a different argument from the one we were having.
Your employer using LLM translation to cut costs on documentation for a massive Korean customer (while having the resources to do it properly) is a decision made by someone with power, to save money, at the expense of Korean users. That's worth being angry about.
But I'm an individual trying to participate in a public conversation. I can't hire a personal interpreter every time I want to respond to a post. The choice I actually face is: use available tools, or stay silent. Those aren't the same situation, and the same tool can mean very different things depending on who's holding it and why.
If anything, your example reinforces the point. The problem isn't the tool, but it's who gets to decide when it's “good enough.”
