Mimic the macOS font on Ubuntu (the whole system and most websites).
I want to bring the smooth font UX on macOS into Ubuntu GNOME/ KDE Plasma (Kubuntu).
So I chose the font Inter
, it is the font used on Figma and ElementaryOS, and it is open-source.
You also have a choice to change the font into SF Pro
to have exactly what runs on mac.
I also turned on the STEM darkening, that makes the font "bolder, thicker" like mac, but it doesn't work on HiDPI screen which has a big resolution like 4K.
I also use the font alias to trigger -apple-system
, Arial
font on almost websites to have a smooth UX thorough all the apps.

-sf
