Font weights not working with "JetBrains Mono" font (macOS)

Open AshConnolly opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

The "editor.fontWeight" setting has no impact on the UI when using the JetBrains Mono font. It works in VSCode without issue.

Curiously other fonts seem to work fine, like Poppins (as seen in Font Book window in screenshot below), which is also a non-system font. Both file types are ttf.

  1. If you can, please include a screenshot of your problem.

  2. Please include the name of your operating system: macOS Monterey

  3. If you can, steps to reproduce are super helpful: Install on macOS and change font weight

thank you for the report. we will be switching fonts back to vscode defaults while we figure out the annoyances with jetbrains mono!

Thanks @sualehasif! Oh is JetBrains Mono the default font when using Cursor? Sorry I didn't know that, I already had VSCode set to use JetBrains Mono, which Cursor imported over! Thanks! Is there a PR I can watch so I can update once merged?

New update will now no longer use Jetbrains Mono by default.

Cool! FYI I update to Version: 0.10.3 and the issue is still present.

Do you still have Jetbrains mono enabled as your font? @AshConnolly

Hi @truell20! I do still use JB Mono as the font, it just isn't the font-weight that I prefer. Also I just updated to Version: 0.11.6 and the issue is still present - changing font weights with JetBrains Mono has no effect. Cheers!

It seems JetBrains Mono font included with Cursor is not rendering font weights correctly on macOS.

As a workaround, you can create a copy of JetBrains Mono (use different font name), install it, and use in Cursor.

Here is copy of JetBrainsMono-2.304.zip/variable I created for myself JetBrainsMonoCopy.zip
