Blink Code & Blink Build: Fonts

[daveio]

I want to use the Victor Mono Nerd Font as my font in Blink Code. I also subscribe to Build so if there's a better way through that, that's more than fine.

Can you help? As it stands, both through Blink Code or a VS Code server inside Build, the only option I can seem to choose is 'monospace' and there's no way to get a font list.

Weirdly enough, if I try 'Courier New' that works, so clearly some kind of system fonts are being passed in.

Any pointers gratefully accepted!

So I haven't tried this myself, but if you install the font system-wide (using one of the apps to do so), I heard it then may be possible to use that family if you set it up within the configuration, even if it doesn't show up there. It should be also available within Blink for the terminal (when the font identifies itself as monospaced).

When it comes to Build, the problem is the session runs through a code tunnel, and I'm not sure where code tunnel is reading the fonts form. I did a quick search, and maybe you can install the font locally within .local/share/fonts or somewhere like that?

But I would give a chance to installing the font locally first. Maybe somebody else has succeeded and can give a better approach.

Hope it helps
