Bundle terminal fonts with a-shell itself? about a-shell HOT 4 OPEN

Hi,
reporting after a good day of trying and failing: I can embed the fonts in the app, they do appear in the font picker and I can select them. It stops here: the terminal window will not display the fonts embedded inside the app, no matter what I try. It will only use the fonts installed by the system, and it won't tell me why (which is also annoying).

I'll revisit the issue if we move away from WkWebView rendering, since that will change the situation.

Thanks for taking a crack at this! How frustrating that WkWebView rendering won't pick up the application fonts. Really appreciate your work on this fun but challenging platform.

Hi, that's a good question, and I fully understand your need here. I'll need to check how it's done and the licensing issues.
I remember trying that a long time ago, and things didn't work as explained in Apple's documentation (it rarely does), because the WkWebView I use introduces an extra layer of indirection.

I'd really like Fira Code Nerd... and yes, moving away from WkWebView would be nice too, the caret/cursor thing drives me up the wall and I've found the vim in Blink Shell a lot less distracting due to that.
