Can anybody tell me what is going on with my letter spacing here? If I run foot with --font="Fira Code" or any other font from command line it looks fine, but loading from the foot.ini looks crazy like this https://imgur.com/a/y84zEwB

this does not look like its actually using Fira Code? when you run it from another terminal, you will see which fonts fcft loads, maybe this can give you a clue?

https://imgur.com/a/CegEidF this is what I see in the output when I load it from terminal, it references a bunch of fonts I don't use
<miccaswitch>
I don't have any of those in the config though

make sure you check your fontconfig
<beerman>
in /etc/fonts/ and maybe in ~ if you ever did that
<miccaswitch>
Not sure what to check there, haven't used font config. The Fira Code font is working everywhere else on my system though

miccaswitch: defining which monospace font to use would be a start

i recommend that blog post, it goes over a few details. archwiki has two pages about fontconfig too, as well as a few others

If it looks fine on the command line, but not in foot.ini, it's probably misspelled in the config, ora typo
<miccaswitch>
It's just font=Fira Code:size=10 in the config and on the command line I used --font="Fira Code"
<miccaswitch>
I tried a couple other fonts too though and it's the same, doesn't work right in config, but works fine on command line
<dnkl>
is the config in the right place? ie is foot actually loading the config?

when you do `fc-list | grep "Fira Code"`, does it actually say that the font with `style=Bold` is named `Fira Code Bold`? I find that odd, I just installed Fira Code again and for me it doesn't
