What fonts and background do you use on your IRC client? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- l0nelyh4x0r · 2012-01-22 09:29 I've been using a bunch of IRC clients over the year. I'm curious to know do Reddit IRC users use? Fonts and backgrounds? I prefer a dark grey or black background and a daker grey text color. I use a 1680x1050 resolution display, but I can't seem to fix on a particular font and size. I came across this Kuro5hin story long back. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/6/11739/5249 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2012-01-22 15:51 Typeset: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Colours: [Solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) (dark) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pi-rho · 2012-01-22 17:23 DejaVu Sans Mono FTW ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bodnast · 2012-01-22 18:16 Trebuchet MS for mIRC [screenshot](http://i.imgur.com/wS60x.png) Ubuntu Font for when I'm using xChat on Ubuntu.

I don't like proportional fonts in IRC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2012-01-22 23:58 Xchat + droid mono + tango colors ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Grape-ist · 2012-01-23 04:17 Yeah this is [mine.](http://i.imgur.com/rOeUA.png) X-chat 2 for windows ---------------------------------------------------------------------- danhm · 2012-01-23 05:37 Monaco 9, black on white for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aedinius · 2012-01-23 07:02 Menlo Regular 11pt Black on white. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ptera-work · 2012-01-23 07:09 [Fixedsys Excelsior](http://www.fixedsysexcelsior.com/) Those suggesting non-monowidth fonts should be burned alive for heresy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- suburbanwolf · 2012-01-23 08:42 Lucida Console.

It's classic but not really necessary for stuff outside of code/typewriters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- funknut · 2012-01-29 14:05 You do realize we're in /r/irc, don't you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- theLaika · 2012-01-29 19:35 It seems a little weird to use it for conversing, is all. Monospace has it's uses but not great for this use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- formode · 2012-01-29 22:32 Agreed! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nliadm · 2012-03-21 03:42 Terminus, with customized irssi Solarized colorscheme. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Akama · 2012-03-31 19:36 Upvote for irssi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack-is · 2012-04-18 18:30 Courier 10 Pitch and Solarized background color. http://db.jack.is/pub/shots/Apr182012-132941.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hintss · 2012-05-09 07:47 it lines up the timestamps :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan- · 2012-07-08 05:49 I'm a big fan of Verdana.
