Reddit Mono is not supported in kitty termnal
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Running 'kitty +list-fonts' shows all installed compatible mono fonts. For some reason Reddit Mono doesn't show up in the list when installed correctly and otherwise working fine. Most all other ttf and otf show up in the list and work in kitty so I'm guessing Reddit Mono is missing some specific data(?)

@kevinclevenger the output fonts will soon be replaced with automated builds. Can you test whether the fonts on this branch resolve the issue? If they do, I will close this issue once that branch is merged.
Otherwise, there may be flag in the font that Kitty is looking for. Any further information as to what that flag might be would be helpful.
@stephenhutchings Apologies, I meant to get to this and it slipped off may radar
gf-onboaring didn't work and 'fc-list : family spacing outline scalable | grep -e spacing=100 -e spacing=90 | grep -e outline=True | grep -e scalable=True | rg Reddit' returns null.
Ubuntu Mono, JetBrains Mono, Red Hat Mono, IBM Plex Mono, all the Mplus Code variants have the right properties. Not sure what's missing in Reddit Mono yet.

Thanks for the extra details @kevinclevenger. Does the suggested workaround that overrides ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf solve the issue? The font does contain some glyphs like the fi and fl ligature characters which are actually double width.
Closing due to inactivity. If the suggested workaround doesn't work, subsetting the font without those characters should satisfy the fixed width requirement.
