Any good alternatives to DejaVu fonts?
Any good alternatives to DejaVu fonts?
For years I've been using DejaVu fonts, but in the last years I had the feeling that this project had been abandoned. And indeed it has.
Does anyone know of good open-source alternatives?
I've heard of GNU Unifont, which seems still alive, but it isn't the kind of font one would use for, say, slides or websites.
Liberation and Kurinto were interesting (though not au par with DejaVu, in my opinion), but seem to have been abandoned as well.
I'm tired of Google and personally am not interested in fonts commissioned by them.
Inter is free and not related to Google as far as I know.
Had never heard about it, cheers!
Personnally I'm a fan of Freesans as it's a sans-serif font under GPLv3.0+
That's another one I didn't know about – thank you! I'll check it out.
no worries👍
I had forgotten about this one! One problem for me with the monospaced is that there's little difference between capital O and zero 0. But the proportional ones are very functional.
tbh I also think that's a problem I have with Freesans
When I can afford it I'll probably hire someone to remake the 0 with a diagonal slash in the center and make the capital O a perfect circle just scaled up
