    I always install the Noto fonts for things like emojis and asian characters, extra fonts to cover the Cyrillic alphabet, and finally OnePlus’s Slate font, which I fell in love with back in the days when I rocked a OnePlus 7 Pro.

    I really like cascadia-code for my terminal (nerdfonts.com has the version with all the ligatures)

    I don’t do any graphic design or anything like that, so the fonts that come with any modern distro seem to do the trick - maybe I’d install ttf-ms-fonts for better compatibility when dealing with files across multiple operating systems.

    Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.
