Fonts installed in User Profile no longer work #7

Open CMCDragonkai opened 3 years ago

CMCDragonkai commented 3 years ago 
          fonts = buildEnv {
            name = "env-fonts";
            meta.priority = 10;
            paths = [
              fira
              fira-mono
              fira-code
              corefonts
            ];
          };

The above doesn't work even if the cache is refreshed.

The only fonts that can be found are the fonts that are the fonts.fontDir.

Which is:

/run/current-system/sw/share/X11/fonts

How to add profile-level fonts into this directory?

Right now, neither kitty console nor vscode can find the Fira Code font family.

If we symlink ~/.local/share/fonts to ~/.nix-profile/share/fonts it could work.

It turns out Fira Code Retina no longer exists... so it's all just Fira Code.

CMCDragonkai commented 3 years ago

The link should be automatically added or something...

This didn't need to be done on an older system... how strange.

This exists on an older system.

On the desktop system, this symlink is not necessary at all.

However Retina font no longer exists. It's probably part of the main font Fira Code now.

So I'm a bit confused. Will leave this here.
