enable stylistic sets

[domi413]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to enable stylistic sets for FiraCode Nerd Font, following the instructions from the FiraCode Wiki on enabling stylistic sets.

After installing FiraCode from the arch-repo and running kitten choose-fonts, I noticed two options listed:

• FiraCode Nerd Font
• FiraCode Nerd Font Mono

Currently, my kitty.conf setup is as follows:

font_family    FiraCode Nerd Font
font_features  FiraCode +cv01 +cv02 +cv23 +cv29 +cv31 +ss01 +ss03 +ss05
disable_ligatures cursor

I also tried setting the font_features to use FiraCode-Nerd-Font instead of just FiraCode and FiraCode-Regular, but neither approach seems to enable the stylistic sets.

Any help or configuration tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

You dont need to do all that, just run kitten choose-fonts and follow the onscreen instructions. Oh and do not use patched nerd fonts there is no need to do so. kitty comes with its own builtin nerd fonts.

alright thanks.

may I ask another question? In Visual Studio Code, it is possible to configure stylistic features based on file type. For example, in VHDL files, <= can be displayed as a left arrow instead of a "less than or equal to" symbol. Is there a similar option available in Kitty?

kitty is not an editor, it doesn't know anything about filetypes. You can launch different instances of kitty with different config values for the stylistic set but I doubt that will address your use case.

so there is not an option to "read" the file type and perform an action based on the opened file type?

kitty doesnt open files its a terminal emulator, they run programs that in turn open files.
