Font too thin

[azzamsa]

Hi.

Using the config below I got nano-emacs working on my side. but the font is too thin and hardly readable. Are the looks below are expected?

(straight-use-package
  '(nano-emacs :type git :host github :repo "rougier/nano-emacs"))

(use-package nano-base-colors :straight nil)
(use-package nano-colors :straight nil)
(use-package nano-theme-light
  :straight nil
  :config
  (nano-theme-set-light))

(use-package nano-faces
  :straight nil
  :config
  (nano-faces))

(use-package nano-theme
  :straight nil
  :config
  (nano-theme))

(use-package nano-modeline
  :straight nil)

I have both Fira Code and Roboto installed.

This is the font looks that I use previously (comfortable for me):

Compared to nano:

Thanks for nano!

I successfully changed some part of the font from light to medium. Both changed the font weight for comment and mode-line.

But I am still stuck changing the default font weight. My only solution right now is using:

 (setq default-frame-alist '((font . "Fira Code 15")))

But indeed it will impact every font faces.

You can actually select the font through customize: M-x customize-group nano-theme-fonts. This will work for the default font. You can also customize nano-theme and tell nano to not set up fonts at all.

Thank you.

By the way, what is your OS?
