Overall, I think Intel One Mono looks great, especially in a text editor (GUI or CLI). If you don’t do this things may look a bit engorged! Top tip: Ubuntu Mono defaults to 13px on Ubuntu 23.04, so when selecting Intel One Mono you’ll want to drop this to ~11px. You can change your terminal font on Ubuntu on a per-app basis, or use the GNOME Tweaks tool to set a monospace font globally that (most) app will respect.
Intel One Mono looks best at a size of 9 pixels or larger. woff2 web fonts) are “manually optimized for screen display”, Intel say, and recommends using this version rather than the. You can also manually install fonts by dropping them into the ~/.local/share/fonts folder. ZIP you’ll need to unpack, and inside that is the font you can install using your desktop’s default font viewer (assuming it has one). You can download Intel One Mono from GitHub. Intel One Mono supports over 200 languages using Latin script, and is provided in four weights (Light, Regular, Medium, and Bold) with matching italics. Intel says it makes reading and entering code easier, helps reduce eyestrain, and may possibly lessen fatigue. Yes, Intel One Mono isn’t just an “aww, looks nice” font. Typography experts at Frere-Jones Type worked alongside Intel’s brand team and marketing company VMLY&R marketing to finesse the form, fit, and function of the Intel One Mono font.īut another important group of people had input in this glyph’s genesis: low-vision and legally blind 1 developers. This is an “expressive monospaced font family that’s built with clarity, legibility, and the needs of developers in mind.” Better yet it’s not only free to download and use but free to edit, and free to redistribute. Intel thinks so, hence the release of Intel One Mono.
Still, there’s always room for more, right? Between IBM Plex Mono, Hack, Fira Code, and JetBrains Mono I think we Linux users are spoilt for choice when it comes to open-source monospace fonts that look good and work great.
