    Since the first time of seeing it on a Mac (Plus, probably), I’ve been in love with Palatino. It just seems to flow so nicely, and the italic is gorgeous.

    I missed it for many years until I found TeX Gyre Pagella.

    Libertinus Serif is my current favorite. I generally like most garamond-likes for most books, but will dabble in a sans if the book is suitably scifi. Older favorites of mine are Adobe Caslon Pro and Adobe Devanagari. Baumschrift is a fantastic clean sans font but honestly it shines best on larger sizes for headers rather than prose. If we are doing monospace I love IBM Plex Mono in the light variety.

    Lexend Deca from https://www.lexend.com/ because it’s the only font I could find which was studied during it’s creation for being more readable for many people.

    Yes.

    TL;DR: I don’t actually know, that’s how much I care.

    Faustina, it’s the FOSS alternative to the Kindle’s default font.

    nztt.

    Made it myself.

    Works for my dyslexia, and efficient for vertical space.

    It divides opinion, some very enthusiastic, some hate it.

    I just tried a few fonts on my old Kobo, as I’ve done a few times here and there, and I always end up back with a serif font. I’m not sure why, but I have suspicion that reading paperbacks and newspapers before ereaders existed has trained me to read faster with serif fonts.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
