I usually rely on Comic Sans, but many other fonts seem off in the terminal. It’s only there for the terminal. As you noticed, I’m using ZorinOS. Do you know why such a nice font appears strange only in the terminal? I’d love for my fonts to blend with the rest of the system.

It makes sense now. Unfortunately, there isn't a similar font with monospaced style available.

That one seems quite similar. I'll attempt it once I'm finished adjusting my LCD's refresh rate or trying to say thanks!

Consider using an alternative terminal emulator.

Have you explored the Ubuntu font? It includes a monospaced version and appears suitable.
