Well, I guess we are all your buddies now. (For those who use the Gnome DE)

dasjdoom, if you select your browser to use the titlebars, that should clear up your funny lookin' titlebuttons on your web browser.

I totally didn't know about the DEB installer. You just solved my issue entirely when it comes to getting ahold of the icons, you rock!

Ohhhh, and in regards to my Dash To Panel, incase you didn't know this, I wanted to remind you why the panel is so thick from top to bottom. This is because I have animations turn on, which means if I hover over the APP, the icon will pop out. So that part is normal incase you were wondering.

For the record, I truly freaking love the Prawler icons. These icons rock too. Thank you Aravisian! I hope this was enough screenshots to show that the Prawler icons are most certainly working.

There many font, but I prefer Roboto Font .......

My preferred font is Myrica.
One of the few programming fonts which also have CJK font sets.

Don't know this one. Guess it can't be normally downloaded and installed. Perhaps you can show us with a printscreen?

This font makes it easy to tell the difference among similar looking characters:

There is only a Japanese language site for Myrica:

But essentially it is Inconsolata font plus Japanese characters.

Wow, guess japanese characters automatically imply italic.

When I look for different fonts, I usually look if it comes with, upper -and lower cases and also if covers the numeric characters. This one (like most) seems to fit the request.

Not really. Here's a screen shot of Font Viewer:

Well, my guess was wrong. But you already figured that I can't read japanese. But nice that this one also uses romanisation version.
So not all fonts are usable for you because of the japanese characters, I guess.

Yup.
You got a picture :slight_smile:

Number of fonts in Japanese is over 3,000.
You can see why there are not that many font faces for Japanese language.

I use the fonts to make png's within Gimp. So for the romanization version its 26 letters and 10 numbers times, lets say 12 adjustments in Gimp per character.

So if I try to do this for the japanese characters is would take a long long long time - and that for just one font, hahaha. By the time I finish I would have a beard to sweep the floor.

I really like Product Sans Regular (its the Google font I think) - on 10px. Dont know why but I find its looks more esthetic if smaller :woozy_face: even if that makes maybe no sense, haha.

I think the Inter font used by default is lovely enough that I've never been tempted to change it, but on previous distros I always liked to install the Aller font and use that.

It's a really dapper looking sans serif font that's nice and readable, while also having a warmer character to it than many other sans serif fonts like Roboto or Open Sans.

I trying find sherif but Lucida Console also is good.
I don't know if you can installing from this side.

For a Minimal Look I would suggest to go with Kollektif
You can refer to Screenshot Below:

• Not to be confused with font in Terminal.

I have looked at them both, they have all the options I am looking for. Meaning lower- uppercase special characters etc., so I can use em all through the system, especially with file management.

But my experience is that most of the fonts don't differ that much. I like to try the fonts that are different from the usual.

Right now I am using Nasalization (all through my system, even the lockscreen, login screen and grubmenu). Lately I have been experimenting with Chromia, Minalis_Regular and Usangel.

Btw thank you for the suggestions.

Use some custom fonts like fuzzy bubbles, Comic Sans MS it will be nice.

For Latin character

  • EB Garamond is an old-fashioned serif style, yet easy to use with few quirks.
  • Grenze Gotisch is blackletter but highly readable.
  • Outfit was installed to parody Keep Calm. It is a neat geometric sans-serif and helps to broaden the design.
  • Inter is a grotesque sans serif for the digital age, combining neatness and readability similar to Helvetica.
  • Public Sans, like Inter, is a progressive grotesque sans-serif with a powerful impression.

For Japanese character

  • 源流明朝源石ゴシックはそれぞれ源ノ明朝と源ノ角ゴシックを加工して古風な印象にしたものだが、自動生成とは思えないほど良く出来ている。
  • 佑字は珍しいオープンソースの筆文字フォント。
  • Zen Maru Gothic は、角ゴシックの加工では出せない雰囲気を持つ本格的な丸ゴシック。

I think Zorin OS uses Inter as its default system font contributes greatly to its beautiful UI.
