Fedora 24 and XFCE

Fedora 24 and XFCE fonts

Actually there is nothing XFCE specific about all of this. After getting back to where I could run XFCE again, I was irritated and aggravated by the default font. A search turned up this little gem:

Great Monospace fonts

So to get all of these, you do:

dnf install levien-inconsolata-fonts 
dnf install adobe-source-code-pro-fonts
dnf install mozilla-fira-mono-fonts
dnf install google-droid-sans-mono-fonts
dnf install dejavu-sans-mono-fonts

The article talks about another font named "hack", but it is not yet in a Fedora package.

Select one

I opened up an XFCE terminal, found the edit--preferences--appearance menu, unselected the "use system font" (it was FreeMono Regular, 12 pt) and then used the menu to select "Inconsolata Medium". Seems nice at 12 pt.
