Well, after this video I felt an irresistible urge to try more-speech again after a long time. But unfortunately I remember why I stopped using it in the first place. It looks much better on the video than on my computer, it's hard to read even. I don't know what my computer is doing wrong, maybe Swing just doesn't like Linux:

Try adding: _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true'

to /etc/environment

(You can also just use it as an environmental variable, just prefix lein run with it.)

With that underscore before JAVA? Yes.

Sir, you are genius. This has fixed it. It is still not as pretty as the Mac version, but at least now I can read. I'm going to experiment with more-speech now.

The worst part about Clojure is that it's part of the Java ecosystem. The best part about Clojure is that the Java ecosystem was so annoying twenty years ago that there's a mountain of posts explaining how to mitigate almost every annoying little problem that the non-Clojurescript Clojure ecosystem has in the present day.

If you look in the `private` directory you'll find a file named `user-configuration`. In there you'll see some font configurations. You can play with those if you like.

I'll have to do some work on the cosmetics at some point. My current focus has been function over form.
