Wow, new font tech that might not bug me (cleartype ugh) and might make
me happier (in my old age seeing the difference between o and c in
normal fonts @8pts in the terminal is getting harder).

Argon looks most promising for me.

So in theory the font files can be put in a linux font folder somewhere
and these can be run in gnome-terminal?  Has anyone tried?

I've found sometimes fonts that "leave their cell" can cause artifacts
as X & terminals (or whatever) has imperfect handling.  I wonder if
these will suffer from this.  I also wonder about performance in terms
of cpu loading, though surely this must be a nothingburger drop in the
bucket?  Last thing anyone wants is the editor / terminal getting laggy
when typing or shifting text around.  Then again, this isn't a MS
product.

Great post Adam!  I wonder when this will show up as normal packages in
the repos... like in Fedora...
