I actually use a slightly modified unifont exclusively on a linux system, deleted all other fonts, disabled browser font downloading, and use firefox to get proper rendering. If you use a tiling wm, without borders or spaces between windows, then three windows of 80 columns of 8x16 font works.

I've never heard of deleting all fonts before, but I supposed that would work well for what you're going for!

Wish general computing was more customizable like that...

sorry for the late reply, also forgot to mention that I use a fontconfig file, .xresources, other config files for i3 (the tiling wm), termimal (xst) and vim that specify the unifont font specifically.

here are a few images showing the setup and sites using unifont. https://imgur.com/a/5gAZau3

Cool. I'd probably pick a different font, but I like this consistency. Perhaps as a way resisting attempts at emotional manipulation by typography...
I would love to see a screenshot!
Seconding this!
Wow!
