For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.
[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]
My EndeavourOS (and the prior Manjaro distro) had all of them installed.
All. Of. Them.
I am so tired of having to scroll through hundreds of Noto fonts to get to the later ones, but I’m afraid, if I uninstall one, something will break on reboot.
