Homebrew [POLL] Decide the next default font in Decrypt9

[a9lh-1user]

Why not just give us the option to change the font?

You HAVE the option!
Compile it for yourself

I prefer acorn because is easily readable

I've had no issues reading the text with the new font used in the latest versions of Derypt9WIP. And I don't even have great eyesight.

I would suggest GNU Unifont (used in the GRUB bootloader, and a beautiful font imho), but it's 6 pixels too tall :'(

Out of the options, though, I prefer the Acorn font.

everyone vote for acorn

@d0k3 just an idea, why not have the option to select whichever font you want to use in maintenance options? This way people can just chose whichever one they want?

I agree, I don't see why this wouldnt be a thing. Now the default font... That's the debate here. But there should be an option in settings to change fonts. Remember that some people don't know how to compile things, and shouldn't have to learn how to just because they can't read the default. We aren't all coding wizards

Is it too late to suggest comic sans?

While I honestly struggle to care about this, I feel that space efficiency should be the priority for an application like Decrypt9 where is has to be functional rather than pretty.

So, Linux 6x10 it is.

I would agree with you for a filebrowser app that regularly has to display enormously long filenames, but not for a menu-driven crypto tool like D9.

The biggest priority with D9's font should be readability, and not to assume everybody has an *XL model or 20/20 vision.

I like the Linux font, it looks better in my opinion.
