#+TITLE: Fonts

* Intro

  Being a programmer I spend a lot of time looking at text on my
  computer.  Mostly monospaced text.  So I like to have something
  nice to look at.  This is a list of the fonts I've found and/or
  tried and my opinion about them, these are not just facts so feel
  free to disagree.

  I'm currently using:

  | Name   | Size                         |
  |--------+------------------------------|
  | [[Monaco]] | 12 (or pixelsize=18 for XFT) |

* List

  Here is the list of fonts I've found and/or tried.

** Monaco

   This font has the most beautiful parentheses I've ever found
   anywhere.  Placing two together (like so ~()~) almost creates a
   circle.  I like this because I write quite a bit of lisp, and as
   you may or may not know, lisp uses a lot of parentheses.

** osaka_unicode

   This font is almost identical to [[Monaco]].  The only real
   differences I've found is that is has a different ~a~ and that is
   adds a space to each quote (at least double, but I think also
   single).
