So far I've always stuck with the built-in fonts on my Irix boxes. There are some pretty "banging" fonts in there. Right my fellow kids?

Anyway, if I wanted to add more scalable or bitmapped fonts, that looks straight forward enough. What I'm really interested in is what, if anything, other folks like to use? It has been a long time since I've looked into fonts not intended for anti-aliasing on a 1080p screen or scaling on a 4K+ theme. Any old favorites or new finds?

I guess there aren't many graphic designers here :) But for me 'nice to have' fonts would be all of the typical open source fonts Linux distros ship with these days. But I have a feeling they might be in RSE already.

I was just trying to load more, interesting how system vs. app fonts are treated.... Love some Data 70 for the retro feel.
