Red Hat sponsored Steve Matteson in 2007 to create a set of fonts it could package with its Linux distribution. The family features metrically compatible replacements for Arial and Times New Roman, as well as a monospaced Courier replacement. While it lacks a distinct zero, this is a solid font with 665 glyphs and true bold and italic.

In many ways similar to Lucida (by the same designers), this font was designed for the X Window System used in many Linux desktops. It features subtle serifs and is great for reading text. It doesn't have a distinct zero however, if you require that. With an adequate 376 glyphs in true bold and italic, you could do worse than go with Luxi for your daily writing.

NotCourierSans was created by the [OSP collective](http://osp.kitchen/about) by taking Nimbus Mono and chopping of the serifs. While that doesn't seem like a realy good idea, it has created a quite servicable font. It doesn't feature italics or a distinct zero, but does cover 658 glyphs.

"I created the NovaCut font about 14-15 years ago for making inscriptions on stone. Initially the font contained only capitals and digits and existed only on paper and stone inscriptions. In 2010 I decided transfer this font to a computer, and made the missing lowercase and some basical signs; it was initially named Gothica."

This is a unique font with lots of character. The rounded flourishes really make it stand out. It does have all the most important features for programming (like a slashed zero), so why not spice up your debugging with Nova.

Most fonts work fine on a Mac, the best ones add hinting for The Windows ClearType system, but a scarce few pay special attention to the FreeType rendering used in Linux. Oxygen was created to work well in KDE, and this mono variation is a great choice for programmers on Linux. It features a slashed zero and 397 glyphs are enough for pretty much anyone, although purists would prefer true bold and italic.
