How to Obtain a ttf
iortego42 opened this issue · comments
I have a question, how should I process all the svg files i have added and generete a new .ttf file ?
This is a node package, therefore:
npm i
npm run buildI have add some icons for my pentesting tools and it's working awesome. I would like to know how is this actually works, because I want to use all this icons and use it to be displayed on terminal, by mapping every icon in the kitty.conf file, but the problem is that if I use the :program name: notation, it does not work. How it is actually working and why skecthy bar identifies the icons by tipping :name: in stead of interprete that as an string?

This font (ab)uses a feature known as font ligatures. You might know that from other fonts like JetBrains Mono, where == will display as an extra long =, or from traditional typesetting where letter combinations like ff are rendered specially.
So this should actually also work in kitty if you have enabled font ligatures in your configuration!
It seems like ligatures should be enabled in kitty per default

Although if it does not work with ligatures enabled I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting tbh.
Thank's for answering! Yeah, by default kitty enable ligatures, by the way I have also enable it in my configuration file, now the problem is that I need to make kitty to recognise the sketchy bar font, because it is not doing it.
Thank you very much!
