@ -154,6 +154,26 @@ monospace. On Linux you can list all monospace fonts with::
fc-list : family spacing | grep spacing=100
Note that the spacing property is calculated by fontconfig based on actual
glyph widths in the font. If for some reason fontconfig concludes your favorite
monospace font does not have ``spacing=100`` you can override it by using the
following :file:`~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf`::
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="scan">
<test name="family">
<string>Your Font Family Name</string>
</test>
<edit name="spacing">
<int>100</int>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Then, the font will be available in ``kitty list-fonts``.
How can I assign a single global shortcut to bring up the kitty terminal?
