Recent major new features
---------------------------
Variable font support [0.36]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terminal aficionados spend all day staring at text, so getting text
rendering just right is very important. In that spirit, kitty now supports
`OpenType Variable fonts <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_font>`__.
These allow precise customisation of font characteristics, such as weight and
spacing. Not only that, kitty now has a new :doc:`choose-fonts
<kittens/choose-fonts>` kitten that provides a UI for choosing fonts with
support for font features, variable fonts and previews of how the font will
look. This is in addition to its existing best-in-class font customization
abilities, such as: :opt:`symbol_map`, :opt:`text_composition_strategy`,
:opt:`font_features` and :opt:`modify_font`. kitty knows text rendering is
important, and goes the extra mile for it.
