Configure font for character ranges (symbol_map)

[LiHRaM]

The kitty terminal has a very nice way of supporting powerline / alternative fonts without having to patch your current preferred font, which is the symbol_map feature.

Docs: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#opt-kitty.symbol_map

You can set any font as your default font for the terminal, and then you can define which symbols would be rendered using another font using the symbol_map. I would love to something like this in Rio.

I didn't even know about it, thank you very much for sharing @LiHRaM . For now I will move to wishlist to evaluate it later 👌

Rio added a fallback for font icons as wezterm have, but would be nice to have the symbol map, so as you mention you could choose which font to use for specific symbol maps.

How to configure the fallback fonts ? I want to add a fallback font for CJK characters. Thanks

Thanks, I have tried it the first time 0.0.22 was released, but it didn't work for me, my config:

cursor = '|'
blinking_cursor = true
performance = "High"
theme = "dracula"
ignore_theme_selection_fg_color = false
padding-x = 0
option-as-alt = 'both'

[window]
width = 1000
height = 600
opacity = 1.0
mode = "Windowed"

[fonts]
size = 26
extras = [
  { family = "PingFang SC" },
  { family = "Sarasa Gothic SC" },
]


[fonts.regular]
family = "Fira Code"
style = "normal"
weight = 400

[fonts.bold]
family = "Fira Code"
style = "normal"
weight = 800

[fonts.italic]
family = "Fira Code"
style = "italic"
weight = 400

[fonts.bold-italic]
family = "Fira Code"
style = "italic"
weight = 800

Nope, I installed with the release:

Interesting, does it return an error message in the UI?

No error or warnings，It's like nothing ever changed

Implemented in #1005 🙏
