WezTerm version

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

No, and I'll explain why below

Describe the bug

I don't think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/3032, since it looks the same when I use front_end = "OpenGL" and front_end = "WebGpu".

I have not yet tried the latest nightly, since I'm using NixOS, and that complicates running regular binaries a bit. I'll try it, if you think I should.

Here is a screenshot of alacritty on the left and wezterm on the right: Before the update, they looked the same, apart from the colours.

To Reproduce

No response

Configuration

-- Pull in the wezterm API local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

-- This table will hold the configuration. local config = {}

-- In newer versions of wezterm, use the config_builder which will -- help provide clearer error messages if wezterm.config_builder then config = wezterm.config_builder() end

-- This is where you actually apply your config choices

-- For example, changing the color scheme: config.color_scheme = 'Solarized Light (Gogh)' -- config.color_scheme = 'Solarized (light) (terminal.sexy)'

config.font = -- wezterm.font("Terminus", {weight="Regular", stretch="Normal", style="Normal"}) wezterm.font("Terminus")

config.font_size = 14.0

config.window_close_confirmation = "NeverPrompt"

-- config.enable_kitty_graphics=false

config.hide_tab_bar_if_only_one_tab = true

config.scrollback_lines = 10000

config.keys = { { key = 'Space', mods = 'CTRL', action = wezterm.action.ActivateCopyMode, }, }

config.visual_bell = { fade_out_duration_ms = 200, }

config.audible_bell = "Disabled"

config.window_padding = { left = 0, right = 0, top = 0, bottom = 0, }

config.front_end = "OpenGL" -- config.front_end = "WebGpu"

-- and finally, return the configuration to wezterm return config

Expected Behavior

Fonts should not look bold.

I changed my front from "Terminus" to "Terminus (TTF)", and everything looks great again. Sorry for the noise.
