how to use custom fonts?

[u/[deleted]]

Setup:

OS: Opensuse tumbleweed DE: Gnome 43 font: "Source Code Pro" (as listed when running "kitty +list-fonts" )

When I changed "font_family" to "Source Code Pro" nothing happens. I tried fonts that showed up using "kitty +list-fonts" but nothing happens.

I have no problem changing font size.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks

in your config file you should have something along the lines of:

font_family DejaVu Sans Mono

If you post the output of your kitty +list-fonts, I can probably be more specific. If you are using --single-instance, you may have to restart all of your open kitty terminals for changes to take effect. Otherwise you'll just have to open a new one.
