@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) oh, but i thought you were setting default monospace using fontconfig 15:47:52
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaI was. Or am rather. I think that isn't working anymore actually. 15:57:44
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaSince I noticed that all apps use the wrong font when I set it to monospace. Not just the GNOME apps. 15:58:03
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaSo I guess the home manager module for fontconfig isn't working / is not taking effect at least. 15:58:27
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaAsking in the home manager channel... 16:05:08
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) Why not use the systemwide fontconfig? 16:24:48
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) e.g. this is what i have:
  fonts = {
    packages = with pkgs; [
      inter
      nerd-fonts.fira-code
    ];
    fontconfig.defaultFonts = rec {
      serif = [ "Inter" ];
      sansSerif = serif;
      monospace = [ "FiraCode Nerd Font" ];
    };
  };
16:25:23
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaBecause I use a custom font and had issues with injecting that system wide before. But it's been over a year since I wrote this config, I can try again. 16:26:16
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) I don't understand what you mean 16:28:57
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)You mean, its not from a nix package?16:29:02
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaIt is, but not from nixpkgs16:37:18
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaI package it myself 16:37:22
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaIt's a commercial font 16:37:32
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) should be fine still 17:14:40

@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaI have a fun new bug12:27:31
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaNot sure if this is NixOS specific, maybe somebody knows: When I open ddterm, a shell extension that opens an overlay terminal, and then close it again somehow in Electron and Java apps (or at least not Adwaita apps; maybe it's just in XWayland apps?) the last key I held while closing ddterm is stuck12:28:28
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaso for example, I open/close the terminal with CTRL+^. If I close it now, VSCode just spams ^ until I hold and release ^ again12:29:02
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparafound it, mutter bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/441612:53:32
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparafixed in mutter 49.212:54:21
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaIs there a PR that includes mutter 49.2? Otherwise I'd open a PR12:54:59
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparais it even OK to update mutter on it's own or would that require other packages bumped as well? I'll just try for now.13:01:42

@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparadoes somebody know where the NixOS GNOME team coordinates? None of them seem to be active here, I'd love to help out with the next updates, but don't really know the processes yet.16:43:57

@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️Are there any users of geary, the GNOME mail client, here? I'm thinking of just submitting a request to remove it as it isn't part of GNOME core apps and the cinnamon module removed it in 24.1116:49:15
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm not sure whether to remove program module and the package, or just remove it from gnome.nix 16:49:40
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️I want to remove the package since it's basically not receiving any new feature updates since GNOME 46 besides updating deps and not even Cinnamon ships it (and they keep all the old GNOME stuff)16:51:06
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ Pantheon just switched to their own mail app because they're pantheon and they rock. 16:53:40
