[SOLVED] Cannot change fonts in Alacritty

juanki0396 · 2022-07-17 16:50:35

I have recently download mononoki nerd fonts and I have installed them manually by moving ttf files into /usr/share/fonts/TTF/mononoki-nerd-font directory.
Then I have modified the alacritty conf file ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml in the following way:

fonts:
  normal:
    family: mononoki Nerd Font
    style: Regular
  bold:
    family: mononoki Nerd Font
  italic:
    family: mononoki Nerd Font
  size: 14

However, the font is not correctly rendered. It seems to be using a default font.

Does that font even exist with that name?

fc-match "mononoki Nerd Font"

If not, find the actual family name by running fc-query on the font you intend to use and actually update the font cache to make it visible to applications if you aren't using a package by running the fc-cache command

The font exist, here you have the output of the command:

mononoki-Regular Nerd Font Complete.ttf: "mononoki Nerd Font" "Regular"

I think the problem is related con Xorg but I'm not sure at all.

When I run the xlsfonts command, mononoki fonts are not displayed. I have been following the Fonts article in the ArchWiki but nothing seems to fix the problem.

"font", not "fonts" - otherwise please post the actual file.
