### Font Related Configuration
|
|
|
|
By default, wezterm will use an appropriate system-specific method for
|
|
locating the fonts that you specify using the options below. In addition,
|
|
if you configure the `font_dirs` option, wezterm will load fonts from that
|
|
set of directories:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
return {
|
|
-- This tells wezterm to look first for fonts in the directory named
|
|
-- `fonts` that is found alongside your `wezterm.toml` file.
|
|
-- As this option is an array, you may list multiple locations if
|
|
-- you wish.
|
|
font_dirs = {"fonts"},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following options impact how text & glyphs are rendered:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
return {
|
|
-- The font size, measured in points
|
|
font_size = 11.0,
|
|
|
|
-- The DPI to assume, measured in dots-per-inch
|
|
-- This is not automatically probed! If you experience blurry text
|
|
-- or notice slight differences when comparing with other terminal
|
|
-- emulators, you may wish to tune this value!
|
|
dpi = 96.0,
|
|
|
|
-- (available starting in version 20210203-095643-70a364eb)
|
|
-- Scale the effective cell height.
|
|
-- The cell height is computed based on your selected font_size
|
|
-- and dpi and then multiplied by line_height. Setting it to
|
|
-- eg: 1.2 will result in the spacing between lines being 20%
|
|
-- larger than the distance specified by the font author.
|
|
-- Setting it to eg: 0.9 will make it 10% smaller.
|
|
line_height = 1.0,
|
|
|
|
-- When true (the default), text that is set to ANSI color
|
|
-- indices 0-7 will be shifted to the corresponding brighter
|
|
-- color index (8-15) when the intensity is set to Bold.
|
|
--
|
|
-- This brightening effect doesn't occur when the text is set
|
|
-- to the default foreground color!
|
|
--
|
|
-- This defaults to true for better compatibility with a wide
|
|
-- range of mature software; for instance, a lot of software
|
|
-- assumes that Black+Bold renders as a Dark Grey which is
|
|
-- legible on a Black background, but if this option is set to
|
|
-- false, it would render as Black on Black.
|
|
bold_brightens_ansi_colors = true,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To select the font face you can use a helper function imported
|
|
from the `wezterm` module:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
-- The font family name. The default is "Menlo" on macOS,
|
|
-- "Consolas" on Windows and "monospace" on X11 based systems.
|
|
-- You may wish to download and try either "JetBrains Mono" or
|
|
-- "Fira Code" to enjoy ligatures without buying an expensive font!
|
|
font = wezterm.font("Operator Mono SSm Lig Medium"),
|
|
|
|
-- You can specify some parameters to influence the font selection;
|
|
-- for example, this selects a Bold, Italic font variant.
|
|
font = wezterm.font("JetBrains Mono", {bold=true, italic=true})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to specify fallback fonts (eg: you've got a killer
|
|
monospace font, but it doesn't have glyphs for the asian script
|
|
that you sometimes work with), you can specify multiple fonts that
|
|
wezterm will use in the order you specify:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
return {
|
|
font = wezterm.font_with_fallback({
|
|
"My Preferred Font",
|
|
-- This is searched for glyphs that aren't found in the first one
|
|
"My second best font",
|
|
-- This is searched for glyphs that aren't found in either of
|
|
-- the first two
|
|
"My third best font",
|
|
}),
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may optionally specify rules that apply different font styling based on the
|
|
attributes of the text rendered in the terminal. Most users won't need to do
|
|
this; these rules are useful when you have some unusual fonts or mixtures of
|
|
fonts that you'd like to use. The default is to auto-generate reasonable
|
|
italic and bold styling based on the `font` configuration.
|
|
|
|
If you do specify `font_rules`, they are applied in the order that they are
|
|
specified in the configuration file, stopping with the first matching rule:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
return {
|
|
font_rules = {
|
|
-- Define a rule that matches when italic text is shown
|
|
{
|
|
-- If specified, this rule matches when a cell's italic value exactly
|
|
-- matches this. If unspecified, the attribute value is irrelevant
|
|
-- with respect to matching.
|
|
italic = true,
|
|
|
|
-- Match based on intensity: "Bold", "Normal" and "Half" are supported
|
|
-- intensity = "Normal",
|
|
|
|
-- Match based on underline: "None", "Single", and "Double" are supported
|
|
-- underline = "None",
|
|
|
|
-- Match based on the blink attribute: "None", "Slow", "Rapid"
|
|
-- blink = "None",
|
|
|
|
-- Match based on reverse video
|
|
-- reverse = false,
|
|
|
|
-- Match based on strikethrough
|
|
-- strikethrough = false,
|
|
|
|
-- Match based on the invisible attribute
|
|
-- invisible = false,
|
|
|
|
-- When the above attributes match, apply this font styling
|
|
font = wezterm.font("Operator Mono SSm Lig Medium", {italic=true}),
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's an example from my configuration file;
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wezterm = require 'wezterm';
|
|
|
|
-- A helper function for my fallback fonts
|
|
function font_with_fallback(name, params)
|
|
local names = {name, "Noto Color Emoji", "JetBrains Mono"}
|
|
return wezterm.font_with_fallback(names, params)
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
font = font_with_fallback("Operator Mono SSm Lig Medium"),
|
|
font_rules= {
|
|
-- Select a fancy italic font for italic text
|
|
{
|
|
italic = true,
|
|
font = font_with_fallback("Operator Mono SSm Lig Medium Italic"),
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
-- Similarly, a fancy bold+italic font
|
|
{
|
|
italic = true,
|
|
intensity = "Bold",
|
|
font = font_with_fallback("Operator Mono SSm Lig Book Italic"),
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
-- Make regular bold text a different color to make it stand out even more
|
|
{
|
|
intensity = "Bold",
|
|
font = font_with_fallback("Operator Mono SSm Lig Bold", {foreground = "tomato"}),
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
-- For half-intensity text, use a lighter weight font
|
|
{
|
|
intensity = "Half",
|
|
font = font_with_fallback("Operator Mono SSm Lig Light"),
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of additional advanced font configuration options:
|
|
|
|
* `font_locator` - specifies the method by which system fonts are
|
|
located and loaded. You may specify `ConfigDirsOnly` to disable
|
|
loading system fonts and use only the fonts found in the directories
|
|
that you specify in your `font_dirs` configuration option. Otherwise,
|
|
it is recommended to omit this setting.
|
|
* `font_shaper` - specifies the method by which text is mapped to glyphs
|
|
in the available fonts. The shaper is responsible for handling
|
|
kerning, ligatures and emoji composition. The default is `Harfbuzz`
|
|
and we have very preliminary support for `Allsorts`.
|
|
* `font_rasterizer` - specifies the method by which fonts are rendered
|
|
on screen. The only available implementation is `FreeType`.
|
|
|
|
These options affect the appearance of the text. `Subpixel` antialiasing
|
|
is approximateley equivalent to ClearType rendering on Windows, but some
|
|
people find that it appears blurry. You may wish to try `Greyscale` in
|
|
that case.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
return {
|
|
font_antialias = "Greyscale", -- None, Greyscale, Subpixel
|
|
font_hinting = "Full", -- None, Vertical, VerticalSubpixel, Full
|
|
}
|
|
```
