Doesn't work in any linux terminal #57

This is a bit unfortunate. FiraCode works in qTerminal on linux. But I would like to try hasklig on linux in a terminal.

I just tried it in Konsole, and it seems to work! No luck in gnome-terminal, haven't tried qTerminal yet.

Interesting. I cannot see Hasklig in the font listing in Konsole. It shows up in Atom, Kate and KWrite, but doesn't show up in the system fixed width fonts selection. Seems like my Plasma 5 does not consider Hasklig as a fixed width font. I'm using Manjaro KDE.

@sib-null I saw that problem on Ubuntu 14.04 -- the Hasklig fonts just wouldn't show up in Konsole's font picker, though they were visible to other applications. I was able to use it anyway by putting Font=Hasklig Medium,10,-1,5,63,0,0,0,0,0 in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile.

When I tried it on Manjaro (Cinnamon) though, it mostly just worked -- Hasklig showed up in the fonts selector and I was able to choose it, though it seems for some reason I had to restart Konsole before it rendered correctly. I'm guessing it's due to differing versions of Konsole; on Ubuntu 14.04 I have Konsole 2.13.2; I'm not at my Manjaro desktop currently, but I suspect the version from the Arch repositories is newer.

Thanks @tripped! Editing the config file directly certainly works! This will do for now, until the font is properly fixed.

Manjaro indeed does use the latest version of Konsole, at 16.04.3. For what it's worth, Manjaro, and probably Arch, put the config file in a slightly different path, under ~/.local/share/konsole/Shell.profile.

Konsole has an option "Show all fonts" that allows the selection of Hasklig.
Qterminal does not show Hasklig in the list of options.

Source Code Pro however does appear in both Konsole and Qterminal, so it seems like the modification process of Source Code Pro into Hasklig removes the required metadata.

Has anyone manage to get Hasklig showing in qterminal? OR has somehow hacked a way to use it?

Would this problem have to do with the insanity of fontconfig?

This looks interesting.
