I'm sorry that perhaps isn't a very in-depth question, but I'm curious to know.

For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.

[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]

Did many of you even have much nonfiction?

When someone grows nostalgic about childhood books, they generally talk about fiction, but my fiction reading nearly all came from the library and had to go back, so I don’t remember it as clearly as the nonfiction in the bookcase that I’d flip through and look at the pictures and read some here and there.

Warning: Not very good. But if you are determined to watch a Christmas special, August is the least obnoxious time of the year to do it.

"The hour-long special was originally supposed to also air that same season Stateside on ABC Family, but the Disney-owned network balked when Foley refused to make changes to the script.

"What really rankled Disney was Foley’s on-air suggestion near the end that Christmas isn’t about acquiring consumer goods or selling ad time. Echoes of the Grinch, who once observed that, 'Christmas doesn’t come from a store.'

"'They said it would discourage shopping and be offensive to their corporate sponsors. What kind of a network gives their ad sales department veto power over what they buy or script approval? I’ve actually never been angrier in my professional life.'"

"The New Show is an NBC sketch comedy show produced by Lorne Michaels that ran for one season from January 6 to March 23, 1984. […] It was the lowest-rated of 94 programs that aired during the 1983–84 television season, averaging a 7.81 household rating."
