Another "GREAT" and free resource to check out is;

Bookmarked. Thanks, jedi.

Came across Commandlinefu accidentally as well, but with a conky that I found. It generates a random commandline script and I did consider it a waste of resources.  But, post it anyway if anyone would like to see it. Seems to require to have Lynx installed. Thanks -zephyr

Are you an open sans user too? My to go font in most of my systems. A great one for clarity and readability = confort. 

[zephyr]

@Snap: You are welcome for the script line, thought about posting just that one line, but decided to post it all. It maybe of use to someone.

Actually use the sans font for everything, easy to look at and does have a more uniform look. But, I need to take a look at the open sans see what the difference is. Imagine they are part of the sans serif category. Thanks-zephyr

[zephyr]

@Snap: I did find the open sans font, a bit different than the sans true type. I found the package for a lot of fonts from the Deb package site, and did decide to download and install

I concur, the open sans do render quite well and easy on the eye. For anyone else interested the link is below.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive-fonts-extra

The font is also available with synaptic.  Listed as Texlive-fonts-extra. Thanks again-zephyr

[PackRat]

Open Sans font and many others at font squirrel

in case you don't want all the others in that package.

I did find the open sans font, a bit different than the sans true type.

So it's that. I noticed something weird with that font sometimes. Very scarcely, it renders strange. So it must be that difference. But this hardly ever happens. I'm all fine with it.

Didn't knew it's part of the Textlive-fonts-extra package. I always install it alone. But good to know it's there. Thanks.
