macOS terminal fonts in mac

[diffuser78]

I am in the process of switching from Ubuntu Linux to Mac OS X.

For coding I used terminal or xterm(black) in Ubuntu and I loved the fonts in the terminal. My eyes are so used to those fonts out there that I find it so hard to work in "terminal" of mac which doesn't have those fonts.

Did you guys have the same issue ever ?

Can you share what terminal font and color scheme is popular in OS X.

Every answer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Daniel

I use the "Novel" colour scheme. Looks good and the colours are fairly neutral.

How to get Novel color scheme ?

In the preferences.

Which font do you use in Ubuntu? If the Ubuntu default is the same as Fedora, it is Monospace 12 pt. I know that's not available, but Lucida Sans Typewriter is a very similar font. Access Terminal Preferences-> Settings and select the font there. You may also want to check Antialias Text.

I just use the basic theme - none of the others do anything for me.

I use Monoco 10pt. The command prompt is green and the other text is silver. Background is black.
