I saw the other post about Biolinum and looked into it.  It's very
organic, and maybe a bit "far-out", but I might give it a shot sometime
soon.  Wouldn't hurt to jazz up the newsreader.

The Biolinum font is part of the Libertine font package and it seems to
have been superseded by the Libertinus fonts:

IMO, Libertinus does not look that good.  For text editors a monospaced
font is always recommended and Libertinus Mono is, IMO, not very
attractive.

Libertinus Sans (but not mono) looks good in Pan, so I've set that.  Set
the mono font to Liberation mono, which is also what the post editor uses.

I wondered if the Linux Biolinum (mono) font looked better than the
Libertinus mono, so tried it -- didn't like the look of it.  One
thing that stood out is how far to the left the "l"s (ells) were...
kerned?  (I don't know the proper font term, but they seemed to be
offset to the left in their character slots.)
