[rido-min]

Running in Ubuntu the fonts dont seem right:

Hi @rido-min This is expected as Ubuntu and Windows have different default font. If you have used the Mac OS version of the tool, you would notice they look different as well.

[rido-min]

can we use fonts that are available in all platforms? or at least use a fallback?

As I was googling this issue, people would recommend changing the default fonts for ubuntu system themslves if they don't feel used to it. Finding a common fonts is not a recommended solution, or at least not worth doing since it would alter the appearance for other platforms, and can be fragile if the os supported fonts changes.

Finding a common fonts is not a recommended solution how other electron apps solve this issue? eg, Storage Explorer looks almost the same in Windows and Ubuntu

the screenshot you attached does not look the same to me. the fonts and the space is not the same, maybe closer. in explorer, we directly put span or div around plain text. other apps could be using bootstrap or something else. but i dont think there is a need for us to follow exactly the same.

if you strongly feel like it is worth doing, please reopen the issue as a feature request instead.

I'm not advocating for a pixel perfect comparision, just not use Times New Roman as a default :)

from this site, there are several fonts recommended. We are also updating to Arial and see if that gets the app a better look: http://rigaux.org/font-family-compatibility-between-linux-.html
