[question] support for ttf fonts? #2

Open japrogramer opened 6 years ago

japrogramer commented 6 years ago

Hello, since this terminal is opengl rendered. could support for ttf fonts be added?

sapphire-arches commented 6 years ago

The font name in config.h is a FontConfig query string and I just pass the result to Freetype2 so you should be able to point that at pretty much whatever font file you like.

Thank you, it looks like the st terminal source also has this setting but they have it configured differently. They don't use a separate variable for the font size.

static char font[] = "mononoki:pixelsize=16:antialias=false:autohint=false";

Yeah, because I knocked this together so quickly it's not really super clean. Setting font size using that option broke things and I haven't tracked down why that is just yet.
