What fonts are you using for Firefox on Ubuntu?

2 pointsby 8x8squaresover 7 years ago
I&#x27;m currently using the default DejaVu fonts.<p>I used Firefox earlier and jumped on the Chrome bandwagon when it became popular. I just made a switch back from Chrome to Firefox and it feels a lot faster than Chrome.<p>I have installed Microsoft fonts on my Ubuntu and Chrome uses these fonts. Now, I&#x27;m trying to make Firefox use the same fonts but I don&#x27;t seem to figure out the font names for <i>Serif, Sans-serif, and Monospace</i>.

I&#x27;ve never used the Microsoft fonts on Linux, so maybe I&#x27;m completely misinterpreting your question, but if it&#x27;s just a case of you wanting to know names of Microsoft fonts:<p>The classics:<p>- Times New Roman (Serif)<p>- Arial (Sans)<p>- Lucida Console (Mono)<p>ClearType fonts:<p>- Calibri (Sans; the default font in MS Office 2007 onwards)<p>- Constantia (Serif)<p>- Corbel (Sans)<p>- Cambria (Serif)<p>- Candara (Sans)<p>- Consolas (Mono)<p>And then they also use the Segoe family of fonts a lot in the Windows UI.<p>As for what (non-Microsoft) font I use, this one: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozilla.github.io&#x2F;Fira&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mozilla.github.io&#x2F;Fira&#x2F;</a> (Sans and Mono)

Webfonts, when not blocked by any of the privacy protection add ons I use, or DejaVu 16 for Sans and Serif and DejaVu 12 for Mono.<p>What font do you use and why this question?
