10 Beautiful Fonts for Your Linux Terminal
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Picking the perfect font is crucial for many things, whether you are a programmer, system administrator, or a Linux user fond of the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
[Changing the terminal font][1] helps you achieve the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- **An aesthetically pleasing look of your terminal**
|
||||
- **Enhances readability**
|
||||
- **Reduces eye strain**
|
||||
|
||||
Sounds good. But how can you choose the perfect font? There are hundreds and thousands of options out there.
|
||||
|
||||
For starters, you can select a **font optimized for technical documents or coding** because those have good readability. Next, you can filter **foss projects** (if that matters to you) and check if those **fonts scale well** with high-resolution monitors (per your requirements).
|
||||
|
||||
Fret not; to give you a head start, we have picked some of the best fonts fit for coding, offering good readability while also looking good at the same time.
|
||||

||||

It includes coding ligature support and offers three variants: standard, mono, and a version supporting embedded powerline symbols.
