    Have you ever compiled Firefox? If not, it’s best not to suggest that to others. It’s not for the faint of heart.

    Anyway the usual fixed width fonts like Courier work, or they could put it in about:config.

      Yes, but I used the NixOS “recipe”. I just tell it the new source folder in my config and do a sudo nixos-rebuild swirch --impure

      It takes two hours, but completely hands off

        That’s interesting. Last time I did it I had to manually install a ridiculous amount of dependencies one by one, among other things. I will have to try Nixos (or Guix) sometime. Computers are faster now too. I remember taking way more than 2 hours but it was on a slow machine by today’s standards. Thanks.

          That’s why I love NixOS, some dude (okay sometimes it’s me) already figured out how to compile all the software and built the binaries if you want them
