Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: macOS 10.13.3

  • Hyper.app version: 2.0.0-canary14

  • .hyper.js

  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A

  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

I have the Input font installed by copying the font files to ~/Library/Fonts (in a subdirectory for grouping). The font is available in other apps, like Sublime Text, but if I configure the font in Hyper, it's not found.

I found if I did install the font by using the Font Book app, then the font became available in Hyper.

It would be nice to have, though certainly not necessary, to support fonts the broader array of fonts.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on macOS 10.13.3 with the linked .hyper.js configuration and a vanilla Hyper.app install, comparing a font copied into ~/Library/Fonts with one installed through Font Book. Done means Hyper recognizes and can use the copied font, including when it is stored in a subdirectory.
