An unexpected thing has occurred. I didn’t think I’d ever run through the existing set of terminal fonts. But it seems like there are only four that spark joy. Fantasque Sans, Inconsolata, IBM Plex, Liberation Mono. And that’s it.

It took a lot of tinkering, but finally, I did it. I have my favorite font in PyCharm's and WebStorm's terminal.

Here is how you can do it too:

JetBrains vs custom font issue

I usally use a retro font called "MxPlusIBMVGA9x16". Childhood nostalgy. I can use it anywhere but in JetBrains terminals. It is not listed as monospace font in the reworked terminal's menu. It is listed as monospace editor font though. 🤷

I dissected the font with FontForge and with Python's fonttools lib too. Panose table, isFixedPitch are in order. What should I look for to fix?
