Whether "use non-tex fonts" is checked or not (it might be worse one way or another, but it's not good either way). I now use exclusively (for normal purposes): * TeX Gyre Schola for normal serif fonts. * TeX Gyre Heros for normal sans-serif fonts. * TeX Gyre Cursor for monospaced fonts. These fonts are readable, at a glance, on paper or on screen. They look good, at least to me. All you do is install them from CTAN, check "use non-tex fonts", and compile with LuaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Once in a while I use Ubuntu Condensed when needing condensed fonts. Note that if it's to be read exclusively on a screen (HTML or ePub), I don't specify fonts, so that the user's preferences rule.

Does that work for you from the command line? It also works for me, but the speed is very unstable, as shown in the attached screenshot. So, I want to clone through my local socks5 proxy running on 127.0.0.1:1, but don't know how to achieve this goal. Speed should be matter of initial clone only.

Yes, I was thinking something like that, too. Even if it were only updated once a year, it'd still make a huge difference. I tried cloning the repo on GitLab (with the idea of instituting automatic updates), but it did not work. I'm guessing it might have timed out.
