@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaanybody else got the issue that the Monospace font doesn't work in some GNOME apps (but not all...?)12:19:53
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaI'm using Home Manager's fontconfig module, so that might complicate things further.12:20:07
@capypara:matrix.orgCapypara"doesn't work" as in it just uses the default document font instead12:20:20
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaText Editor picks up the right font, but Builder, Workbench, Fractal don't.12:21:59
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️GNOME applications have to be updated to use the document fonts, so it's an app issue most likely14:25:39

@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) Did you set the dconf entry org.gnome.desktop.interface.monospace-font-name to "monospace"? 19:24:38

@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaI didn't, but yeah I guess that should be using my configured fontconfig font. But no that uses the default(?) monospace font. Which is better than no monospace font, so I'll take it for now.07:15:53
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaI should add that I think all apps affected are Flatpak apps.07:16:07
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaactually no, Fractal isn't 🤔07:16:32
@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
