Warp Version

v0.2023.05.02.08.03.stable_00

Additional context

I'm probably missing something obvious. Warp looks cool!

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Same here. Version v0.2023.05.02.08.03.stable_00

Hi @VikR1000 and @zachgibson Thanks for submitting, there isn't a warp cli tool at the moment you could use to change the font. The current way to do this would be thru the Settings > Appearance > Text menus.

Closing this as there is currently no warp cli tool to modify text so this isn't a bug.

Sorry @dannyneira I should've clarified what my flow was. Like @VikR1000 mentions:

I've tried to set the terminal font size using the settings dialog and also…

The settings allows me to change the value but it doesn't persist. Restarting the terminal doesn't fix it either.

[dannyneira]

Sorry about that, reopening.

What result do you see when you run defaults read dev.warp.Warp-Stable | grep FontSize before the font change, after the font change, and after restarting Warp?

Also, is this a regression (used to work in a previous Warp version)? If so, what was the last version this worked in?

[VikR1000]

I found out I could change the font size from the View menu. I changed it to 16pt.

After restarting Warp and before font size change:

defaults read dev.warp.Warp-Stable | grep FontSize
    FontSize = "16.0";

Changing the font size in Settings->Appearance to 20pt, has no effect.

After the change in Settings->Appearance but before restarting Warp:

defaults read dev.warp.Warp-Stable | grep FontSize
    FontSize = "16.0";

After restarting Warp, the font size is still 16pt, and:

defaults read dev.warp.Warp-Stable | grep FontSize
    FontSize = "16.0";

Hello, any update on this? Warp > Settings > Appearance > Font Size doesn't have any effect and the size goes back to default of 13.

I am facing the same issue. The settings do not work, only the view menu. I don't know if it is persistent, but I am willing to do it daily.

[csells]

ditto. changing the font size in Warp's settings dialog does nothing. The View menu works.

This app is so great that I’m surprised the developer hasn’t fixed this little font size glitch yet. :-) The font in the AI panel is really too small for a lot of people. It looks like it’s about four points. :-)

[munjalpatel]

Same here. Setting font size from Appearance doesn't work.

[skoch]

Yep, same for me. This is the same after I change the setting via Settings -> Appearance as well as after a restart.

defaults read dev.warp.Warp-Stable | grep FontSize
    FontSize = "13.0";

edit; using View -> Increase/Decrease Font Size does, in fact, set the size appropriately and maintain the chosen size after a restart. Fix, imho, would be to:

1. not allow the field to be editable from Settings -> Appearance
2. update that field to respond to changes (just like Line height)
3. add verbiage that changing here doesn't have any affect and that one needs to change this setting using View -> Increase/Decrease Font Size

defaults read dev.warp.Warp-Stable | grep FontSize
    FontSize = "15.0";

I'm seeing this same issue on Linux (Ubuntu) with v0.2024.02.20.08.01.stable_01.

using View -> Increase/Decrease Font Size does, in fact, set the size appropriately and maintain the chosen size after a restart.

I don't see a "View" menu anywhere, but hitting Ctrl+ does increase the font size. That change persists after a restart.

Still seeing this issue in 2024

I change the font size in Settings > Appearance > Text > Font Size - it saves the value until I close the app, but does not actually change the font size.

After the app restart - the value resets back to 13.
