Terminal: Kitty version 0.23.1

[Arthur-Stewart]

Same issue on Arch Linux after upgrading to ttf-fira-code 6.1-1. When I ran kitty list-fonts under the Fira Code section I only saw 2 font options.

Fira Code Bold
Fira Code Light

The other four font options (medium, regular, retina, semibold) were missing.

Downgrade to 5.2.1 still works.

kitty 0.23.1

Anyone has ideas why is this happening? Is there a kitty ticket?

[idest]

@tonsky this is similar to #840 #1000 and #1073, I was able to fix it with the workaround detailed in https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq/#kitty-is-not-able-to-use-my-favorite-font

[oeyoews]

@idest I try it, but it's no effect for me. so, i downgrade it's verson to 5.2. it's good.

@idest, thank you, it's work
@Arthur-Stewart, i confirm this problems on arch after updatring

I had the same issue as @Arthur-Stewart , also on Arch Linux. Downgrading to 5.2.1 works.

I've also encountered this issue after upgrading to Fira Code 6.1 on Arch Linux. After reading the kitty faq article linked above I decided to compare the spacing detected by fontconfig for 5.2 and 6.1.

5.2

fc-list : family spacing outline scalable | rg Fira
Fira Code:spacing=90:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code Retina:spacing=90:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code Medium:spacing=90:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code Light:spacing=90:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code SemiBold:spacing=90:outline=True:scalable=True

6.1

fc-list : family spacing outline scalable | rg Fira
Fira Code:spacing=100:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code Retina:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code Medium:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code Light:spacing=100:outline=True:scalable=True
Fira Code,Fira Code SemiBold:outline=True:scalable=True

As can be seen several variants are missing the spacing value in 6.1 and I'd bet that's why kitty doesn't pick up (for example) the Retina variant. @tonsky Any idea why this would be?

[tonsky]

Hopefully fixed in 6.2, please check. Somehow Glyphs keeps changing random glyphs widths even if I don’t touch them. Added extra check before release

I had the same issue; 6.2 fixed it for me! Thank you!

[kjerstadius]

@tonsky Thanks for the quick turnaround on the fix!
