[Bug]: Font type issue on OnePlus phones

[Coffee-Viking]

Problem description

Apparently the default font used by Termux is not available on OnePlus devices (tested on the 7 pro and 10 pro), and the app defaults to something with display errors.

Nothing deal breaking, but an eyesore that makes me not want to use it.

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Use Termux on a OnePlus device

What is the expected behavior?

Stable font.

You can make a .termux/ folder in your home directory and put a true type font in there which will become the new terminal font. The file just has to be called "font.ttf".

In my case I use Fira Code so I downloaded the font from https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode into my downloads folder under my home directory, extracted it, then you can either copy the TTF that you want to .termux/font.ttf or use a link (ln).

I personally use symbolic links because that allows me to quickly change fonts in order to try out new ones, but it is completely unnecessary if you're not constantly playing around with ligatures and different nerd fonts.

As a bonus tip, you can also put in a config file in that same .termux/ folder with customizations: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Terminal_Settings
