Strange your list seems to be lacking DejaVu Mono. Just never came about it? Not that I dislike your final choice of Fira Mono. But I always thought DejaVu Mono was the best monospaced typeface out there for years.

Same here, DejaVu Mono in my terminal. Just tried the Fira Mono and it is OK but the line spacing seems far too big for my taste.

on xfce4-term the linespacing looks about 1.5 compared to Droid sans Mono.

Costs to many lines on screen, nice font though.

I have the same issue. A sad thing, the font looks good but the line spacing is way too much for my taste.

Download Fira Mono OT from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897009#c64, and you'll get 30% more lines.

It didn't come to mind but I do like DejaVu, just not a huge amount. It was typically the pick of the pre-installed for sure.
