IMO, the Liberation fonts are the best and every other font
seems quite ugly or unsatisfying in comparison.

Liberation also has extensive Unicode coverage but that is

To me, this is unusual. Why should one font family be so

Surely there are other candidates but I have found none

What are the experiences of others? What are YOUR favorite

I am tempted to exclude all the dozens of GNU/Linux fonts

I use Terminus in my terminal windows, conky, and gvim. Also in xfce, though I
don't run that at the moment. I haven't yet bothered to update my favorite
Fluxbox themes to use terminus.
In GUI apps I use whatever the themes support.
