The characters look similar, but they are 2 pixels shorter, allowing for more text on you (HowTos)

On OS X, monospaced fonts are slightly more weighted than the other fonts. This (I feel) helps bring out the colors more vividly.

Since I am on Linux, I'm trying to replicate the behavior.

pacman -S xorg-xfontsel gtk2fontselxfontsel shows you all the X11 fonts. gtk2fontsel shows you the xft fonts.

Adobe made a cool new font 41 weeks 1 day ago

It's called Source Sans Pro. I'd say it's something between BItstream Vera and Ubuntu. Very nice, great readability. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcesans.adobe/files/

I've got a bit of a strange issue. With certain fonts, no text is visible in some cases. The issue doesn't appear with Droid Sans Mono, but does appear with Droid Sans. As far as I can tell, none of my monospace fonts are affected. I've tried reinstalling my graphics drivers (nouveau), but this hasn't fixed the issue.

Whenever I use lpr on the command-line to print a text file, it uses DejaVu Sans Mono as the font. Is there a way to change this? I'd like to use Terminus as the font instead. I found that CUPS uses Courier as the default font for text files, so somewhere Courier is being aliased to DejaVu Sans Mono, and I have no idea where. Any ideas?

After finally ironing out nearly all the kinks in my quadruple boot Fedora/Windows XP/Ubuntu/Fedora Medialess Install with grub 2, I've run into one final problem. I'm using themes, and everything looks fine with the Liberation Sans font, but in terminal mode I want a monospace font.

The default TrueType font for xterm and its variants is set to use the font matching the name 'mono'.  Check with:$ fc-match monoIt is most likely DejaVu Sans Mono.The bitmap fonts selectable from the Unicode Fonts menu are specified in '/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm'.  "Default" is given as:*VT100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-
