D2Coding Font

0D2CodingFont

D2 Coding font was created for developers and coding based on Nanum Barun Gothic. It is a font optimized for readability, differentiation between similar characters, and harmony with Korean in terms of design. D2 Coding font has enhanced differentiation and readability for not only similar English letters and numbers, but also Korean and special characters when coding. It is also designed to maintain the spacing between letters and lines in any development environment as it is a fixed-width font.

What is Terminator?

It is a terminal emulator like xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, etc. It also is an open source terminal emulator written in Java. Terminator can be used on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and other Unix systems.

I usually use iTerm2 on my MacBook, but for the server desktop I installed Terminator since the Ubuntu default terminal, which is good, but has no the spliting window and other functions.

1) Install the Terminator

Type the commands below one by one in order to install the Terminator.
