    Ərk is an open source, cross-platform IRC client written in Python 3, Qt 5, and Twisted.

  • I'm developing an open source GUI IRC client for Linux and Windows (it's called Ərk), and I'm trying to figure out what to ship as a default font. Currently, it's using Deja Vu Sans Mono as the default font, mostly because it's open source friendly, but I'm not really fond of how it looks. I've used Fira Code (which looked decent, but the ligatures aren't really non-programmer friendly) and I'm also looking at Courier Prime.
