Fonts: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

* <code>fonts.enableDefaultPackages</code>: when set to <code>true</code>, causes some "basic" fonts to be installed for reasonable Unicode coverage. Set to <code>true</code> if you are unsure about what languages you might end up reading.

* <code>fonts.enableGhostscriptFonts</code>: affects the <code>ghostscript</code> package. Ghostscript packages some URW fonts for the standard PostScript typefaces. If <code>true</code>, these fonts will be visible to GUI applications. You could set it to <code>true</code> if you want these fonts, but <code>gyre-fonts</code> (part of <code>fonts.enableDefaultPackages</code>) might be higher-quality depending on your judgement.

=== Using fonts from TexLive ===

You can make use of all TeX/LaTeX fonts from CTAN and [[TexLive]] by passing

the <code>fonts</code> attribute of your TexLive package to <code>fonts.package</code>:

{ pkgs, ... }:

let

mytex =

pkgs.texliveConTeXt.withPackages

(ps: with ps; [

fandol

libertinus-fonts

]);

in {

fonts.packages = builtins.attrValues {

inherit (pkgs)

dejavu_fonts

noto-fonts-cjk-serif

noto-fonts-cjk-sans

julia-mono;

} ++ [ mytex.fonts ];

}

</syntaxhighlight>
