My fave font, which I use every-fucking-where, is Liberation.

Liberation comes in serif, sans-serif, and mono.

Liberation has excellent Unicode coverage:

If you THINK that you have a better font, then post it.

Distro lackeys likely don't even know how to change fonts. They
take whatever is shoved down their throats.

You need a lithium treatment.

Anyway, right now I'm using the Terminus TTF font. I generally don't care
about anything but UTF-8.

Anyone can get that from Sprite et al. That's been a thing since A&W
root beer in 1999.

I don't even know what font I'm using. I'm amused by the hardcopy books
that devote a page to describing the font. I suppose it's catnip to font
designers but it's wasted on me as long as it isn't Fraktur.

How did you get from numerical computation to how pretty
your windows are in 1 post?

"Are you crazy? Is that it?" -Jack (to Lo Pan), _Big Trouble
in Little China_

BTW, what kind of aesthetic is it that you can't decide on
a decent wallpaper? I think staring at your black screen
could be driving you bananas.

Sidenote: somewhere around here, I have screenshots of
fvwm from back when I used to use it. But all I can find
are AfterStep in my archives, which I apparently ran
during the early- to mid-aughts.

Idiot. It's not "fvwm." It's "fvwm3."

Got that? FVWM3. That's T-H-R-E-E as in 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3.

Farthen Flu snipped pretty much my entire post, so here it
is again.

And my response to his stuttering of "3":

Clearly Furly-flux wasn't using fvwm in the 90's.

Hint: it wasn't "fvwm3" back then. Duh.
