Plasma 5 is now using Noto as it's default font rather than the shit oxygen font's.

Well, after you find your perfect configuration, you can start worrying about fonts instead of the rendering.

btw, my subpixel order is rgb.

I've been using Roboto and its variations as my main font in Plasma 5 for a little bit now. Loving it.

Any recommendations for new overall fonts for muh tablet?

Why is samshit the only ones that allow OOTB font changing?
>>
>>51785023
Just stick with the defaults. They look good and a ton of apps are built around the look and feel of the defaults.
>>
>>51785023
that explains why i see so many SX's with shitty fonts.

Adobe Garamond Pro

>>51785459
this desu senpai
literally the only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't have OpenType math... but neither does 99% of other fonts.

Frutiger light is by far the fucking best font for gui I've used so far. Microsoft has shown with segoe ui that humanist fonts are the way to go in ui design and not the shitty hipster grotesque crap apple and Google is doing.

Are there japanese fixed with font that /g/ can recommend?

I mean, a nice looking monospace font for everyday use in terminal that is also able to display readable kanji and cute kana.

Inconsolanta for programming (not coding) and terminal
Open sans /Droid serif for Web

People always forget to mix sans and serrifs properly

>source code pro in terminal/editor/ide
>cantarell for ui
>Georgia for english text

Life was never so good. Also, when I was rocking a fagbook, Fira Sans for OSX UI was GOD tier, I tell you.

Libertine's good but broken if you regularly do weird linguistics crap. At least it used to be

Generally I set things to use FreeSerif but it's a little... janky, I guess. FreeMono though is pretty good for me as a terminal font. Gentium's also good for coverage. Noto's good for coverage.

Most of what I do tends to mean I get specific fonts for specific scripts, like junicode which targets a lot of arcane medieval scribal bullshit, or like more in the hobby dimension iran-nastaliq which is targeted at very stylized kebab writing and happens to support a lot of really weird letters letting you, say, write something in jawi and have it look *so* pretty

I also want to extend my heart to some of the old academic standbies like Georgia or Verdana.

And I think it's not free-libre either but Tinos is pretty nice

i like serif fonts i guess
