Trying out Kitty terminal and two things are apparent
- The font size is either huge or zoomed way in
- Editing the config seems to do nothing.
Any help would be great.
I used kitty-cat to edit fonts
Ill look into it!
Can you try pressing ctrl+shift+f2 from within Kitty and then adding
font_size 20.0? That will make sure you are editing the same config file Kitty is using.If that doesn’t work, I’d try deleting the config and then try again. Kitty should automatically create a new config.
which desktop environment are you using?
Openbox.
Ctrl + Shift + - should decrease the font size of the current terminal, which isn’t what you are looking for, but could be useful while you sort it out. Is it possible that the font in the config doesn’t exist, causing this issue?
this helped tremendously while i was figuring it out, thank you !
Maybe, ill check it out later today.
Meow, meow. Meow?
Ill have to grab an external keyboard, my. Fkeys are fucked on account of my computer being a chromebook.
I’m on my phone away from my computer, so I don’t know the exact syntax, but I use a built-in kitten to set the font inside my .zshrc
It has its pros and cons, but it works well for me.
Did you remove the
#at the start of thefont_sizesetting?I tried it with & without
I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I’m not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it’s expected.
