Summary
SUMMARY: Interface "rename existing font to terminus-bold, add latest terminus as new default font"Purpose of change
PR #37573 resurrected the default font from years ago, but bold fonts are not a good choice for default configurations for eyestrain for most users (although as a preference it's perfectly valid).
it's also a rather old version of the font, so moving to the current version of terminus is worthwhile
Describe the solution
renamed
terminus.fontoterminus-bold.fon, added the current version ofterminus.fonfrom upstreamDescribe alternatives you've considered
we might want to figure out how to do style selection so that we can access the bold subset of the modern
terminus.fon, but that's beyond the scope of this default changeTesting
loaded game, got new font
Additional context
as a comparison:
unifont:
terminus (not-bold version):
the differences are subtle, but I genuinely believe there's a readability benefit here
