Not quite this extreme, but I usually use the old Sun console font in my terminal windows, because I'm an old fart and it makes me happy. Someone at work just the other day looked at my screen and said, "What the heck is wrong with your terminal window???"


I set my terminal windows and such to Monaco, because it was the default Apple monospace font from 1984 until 2009.


do you have a link to download it? or a package name?



thanks. just found that too, linked from here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/307356/what-is-the-...


It should get a modern version. IIRC, Luxi Mono was close.


which is a historic X11 font:

interesting


Whoa, this sent me back. I cut my teeth on Red Hat Linux 5.2 (pre-RHEL), and I remember when they first added Bluecurve… oh jeez, this means im old, doesn’t it?


Current Go fonts are really close to Luxi but being under a TTF format.
