As another software developer, I haven't noticed or cared about fonts in about 20 years. 20 years ago font rendering was sometimes bad. The last 20 years? I guess not or I would have noticed. Seems like whatever the defaults are on Fedora+Awesome, they're fine.

I've basically only noticed or cared about fonts when I'm on a windows computer or a poorly configured linux computer. Windows's hinting drives me nuts.

Yeah, caring about fonts when doing "code" sounds like a tell for "i am a web designer doing JS".
