As a user of a free operating system (Ubuntu Linux) and free software (LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Firefox, GIMP etc.) it was time to take a look at free alternatives to the standard Windows fonts. It feels alsmost as the last small step to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, it is easy to find free fonts. But there are so many that it even is confusing. As I find the fonts provided by Microsoft („Times New Roman“, „Arial“ and „Courier New“) in a simple way very practical (maybe I just got used to), I feel the free alternatives should resemble these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is no question that the fonts mentioned are omnipresent and, in the eyes of some, are therefore heavily used. But so far I have not been able to find fonts that I consider to be similarly practicable in the long term (I am open to recommendations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since I have searched at many occasions, was satisfied and then forgot the result of my search, I started to write down my results. I cannot theoretically base my selection on font size, style, and ascenders and descenders, but I looked at all the fonts in longer texts and found them to be really convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
