Kai KlostermannI don't quite get #Monaspace #font. How do you enable all these features? How would my IDE know what variant to pick for example? And how do you enable texture healing? This surely can't just be part of the font, can it?
Aaron Priven@OddDev texture healing is accomplished through the Contextual Alternates feature, which is built into the font and most of the software that renders fonts on a display. You would pick the preferred style (Neon, Krypton, etc) through your editor’s preferences.
@aaronpriven Thank you!
Okay, so for the texture healing you do not have to do anything but installing the font, right?
For the font picking, how is that achieved in, let's say, #nvim? Or is this something "yet to be implemented" in most (all?) IDEs?
@OddDev
You shouldn't need to do anything but install the font, but that assumes your editor uses the system renderer which supports contextual alternates. So it depends on your system.
Each of the styles is a separate font, so you'd just specify the specific font in your editors' preferences. I don't know nvim -- in regular vim you'd put it in your .gvimrc (set guifont=FontName:FontSize )
