fonts in ghostty

[marvin-tr-81]

Hi,

Stylix adds an emoji font alongside the mono font to ghostty config file.

Here is the generated config file's contents.

background-opacity = 1.000000
font-family = JetBrainsMonoNL Nerd Font Mono
font-family = Noto Color Emoji
font-size = 12
theme = stylix

I have realized this when only Noto Color Emoji is reported by fastfetch. Otherwise ghostty works perfectly without any issues.

This is not a big deal, just wanted to report it.

Thanks for this wonderful project.

The emoji font is intentionally added:

stylix/modules/ghostty/hm.nix

Lines 19 to 22 in e86de61

	font-family = [
	fonts.monospace.name
	fonts.emoji.name
	];

Otherwise ghostty works perfectly without any issues. [...] This is not a big deal, just wanted to report it.

Does the emoji font cause problems?

Ok, good to know.

Does the emoji font cause problems?

Not really, fastfetch reporting emoji font as terminal font is slightly annoying but not a big deal.

Thanks for the clarification.

Changing the declaration order does not seem to help either:

               background-opacity = opacity.terminal;
             };

For me, fastfetch is reporting the wrong font accross several terminals. I assume this has to do with the internal font resolution order, which seems rather out of scope for Stylix.
