I do the majority of my work in Emacs - from the composition of linguistics
articles and chapters, to lecture slides, to keeping track of grades, to email.
Much of what I do requires a monospaced font, and much of what I do requires a
good Unicode font. Which narrows the range of potential font candidates
significantly. And, since I spend so much time looking at it, I would like the
font to be aesthetically-pleasing.
After trying many different fonts, at different sizes and so forth, I’ve found that DejaVu Sans Mono is really the only font which meets all of these criteria. It is really a good-looking font too. Here it is in a few different applications:
Figure 1: DejaVu Sans Mono in mu4e mail
Figure 2: DejaVu Sans Mono in LaTeX doc
Figure 3: DejaVu Sans Mono displaying some Unicode
And…it appears to be the same font used in the terminal in Tron: Legacy:
