Issue with changing Font and font size #2054

Closed max1204 closed 1 year ago

max1204 commented 1 year ago

I have neovide installed on my mac and It is able to load my neovim config and the issue that I'm facing is that it has a small font size and is not able to change it I tried the config for the same to see if that will change it. It reflects all the changes but not the font size change.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

I feel like I'm missing something here.

The most likely reason is that you have mistyped the font name. You can list all the available fonts with set guifont=*, and then enter the font name exactly like that.

NOTE: that if you are doing it from vimscript you need to use backslash before each space, for example set guifont=FiraCode\ Nerd\ Font:h10, in lua you can just copy-paste the font name.

I was having the same issue, and I think @fredizzimo is correct. I was using "FiraCode Nerd Font", while the font name was "FiraCode Nerd Font Mono". Switching made the font size work.

Although I still think it's a very weird behaviour from Neovide to just ignore the font size if the font name doesn't match. I feel like it would make more sense for it to just accept the font size, independent of the font name.

Closing this as we now report to the user when the font parse fails. I personally think telling the user that something has gone wrong solves both cases as it gives an immediate explanation for why the font hasn't changed.
