My pro...Those are cool notes - thanks for sharing. My process was much less systematic and much less well-documented. I did some web-searching both for "best monospaced font" and "monospaced unicode" and read what people had to say, but a lot was trial-and-error. The other font I used for a while is FreeSans [ https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/ ], which is courieresque. FreeSans doesn't seem to render as well though, and, as I recall, a few of its wingdings-type characters are actually not really monospaced, so it messed up alignment in my mail. I also briefly tried Fantasque Sans Mono [ http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/fantasque-sans-mono ], but the "k" character bothered me immediately so I didn't persist. Really, in the end, most monospaced fonts seem to lack good unicode support....but DejaVu Sans Mono really is quite aesthetically-pleasing too.<br />be_slayedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920742528327860445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9417648313224391.post-82493299029749444372014-12-21T14:34:08.749-07:002014-12-21T14:34:08.749-07:00Just adding notifications.Just adding notifications.grant rettkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439997834215273665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9417648313224391.post-23310722070565476012014-12-21T14:33:39.410-07:002014-12-21T14:33:39.410-07:00How did you narrow down Deja Vu Sans Mono?
