I am a XFCE user with a similar taste in fonts, but I have no need for
umlaut.
I am concerned primarily with the distinction between numeral 1 and
lower case L. And I loathe fonts in which the numerals 3, 5, 6, and 9
are not radically different.
Back in the 1970's, I ran across a detailed study of character shape
with respect to the problem of readability after photographic
reduction (microfilm and microfische) in hand-lettered engineering
drawings (24in x 36in). Reading that study brought about a change in
my own handwriting. The study was by a oil company; perhaps it was
Shell Oil.
For Debian, I searched by opening EDIT > PREFERENCES > APPEARANCE in a
terminal. I currently am using `go mono regular'. But `liberation
mono regular' looks promising.
