Investigate enabling `export-glyph-names` for Kitty, other tools that need glyph names

stickyburn opened this issue ยท 7 comments

Started using this awesome font on my terminal but the ligature for -> is displaying incorrectly. Not sure if it's my terminal or the font, as my terminal works well with other fonts, and Zed Mono works well in other places like the IDE ๐Ÿค”

Terminal - Kitty
OS - Artix Linux
Font - Zed Mono

they'll need to enable the export-glyph-names option in their custom build for it to work in Kitty. See the Iosevka repo for info

@jakobbouchard for sure!! I wonder if there's a way to enable this ourselves?

You could pull the repo and build it yourself :) I actually ended up making my own custom build in the end, so you might end up down that rabbit hole too hahaha

Thanks for the tip! Looks like my next weekend is now full ๐Ÿ˜…

Ill leave this open incase there's native support anytime

Apologies, I never saw this issue ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ I'll try to add this the next time we do a release of the font. I plan on doing some subsetting to reduce the size of each weight soon, so I can try to roll this in at the same time.

@iamnbutler Was this ever added? If so we can close this ๐Ÿ˜„
