how do i add more fonts to terminals on arch
i noticed it detects liberation fonts i assume that's because they were installed with pacman
but i want to put my own fonts
i went to /usr/share/local/fonts but it only has a 'man' file so i assumed the terminal emulators like tilix for this case don't look there

grab a font from the interwebs, double-click on it, and install it with the font manager that pops up
somber lantern
oh i never thought it was that simple for some reason let me test it
when i open it it says installed but the terminal doesn't detect it
vital dragon
is it a monospace font?/
vital dragon
is it a nerd font?
somber lantern
yea
vital dragon
you're gonna want to install the fonts that end in mono
terminal apps tend to only like monospace fonts
somber lantern
but some people said it's good for terminals i guess i got click baited
vital dragon
fira code is good, you just likely didn't install the monospace fonts
vital dragon
but some people said it's good for terminals i guess i got click baited
in the zip file, are there some files whose names end in mono?
somber lantern
no
vital dragon
screenshot the zip file
somber lantern
it has alot of folders can i just upload it ? 4 but 4 screenshots so
vital dragon
nah, just send me a screenshot of the archive manager when you open the zip file
vital dragon
show me the files in the ttf folder
somber lantern
the repo says it's a monospaced font
but it does have the tricks for >=
oh wait
oh wait it's somehow now loaded into the terminal fonts after i restarted it ? even tho i installed it before i started the terminal
the font doesn't seem to do the tricks with <= but at least it works fo rnow
oh it's just tilix not supporting it

youre supposed to copy it into /usr/share/fonts/TTF though
at least thats what i do
or just
pacman -S ttf-fira-code which does the same thing

95% of fonts you could want, including Fira Code, are in pacman (or aur). You should prefer to install them that way.
exotic yoke
yea
also theyre not in pacman itself
pacman doesnt have any packages
its arch repos that have packages
sturdy turret
yes.
