I'm in a bit of dilemma here. I'm using Urxvt as my terminal Fantasque Sans Mono as my font.
Here's the result:
The regular version is just too skinny for me. So I configured Urxvt to use the bold style:
Now it's too bold for my taste. Is there any way to configure the font-weight within ubuntu? Maybe some font-config witchcraft? Or maybe some Infinality magic? I'm completely clueless when it comes to font configuration. I did try infinality's OSX style but it didn't help a lot. Maybe I wasn't doing it right :/
I'm only going through all this trouble because I'd like to start using vim and the font is a big factor here for me.
I love linux and I wouldn't want to be that guy who bought a MacBook just because he liked the terminal's font rendering. That was my goal when I started out with customizing my terminal's font. The closest I got was using Monaco's bold style but it ultimately disables bold styling for me.
I did see a post involving font boldening and font-config but apparently, you can't control how much the font emboldens.
