Trying out Kitty terminal and two things are apparent

  1. The font size is either huge or zoomed way in
  2. Editing the config seems to do nothing.

Any help would be great.

Ill look into it!

Can you try pressing ctrl+shift+f2 from within Kitty and then adding font_size 20.0? That will make sure you are editing the same config file Kitty is using.

If that doesn't work, I'd try deleting the config and then try again. Kitty should automatically create a new config.

Ctrl + Shift + - should decrease the font size of the current terminal, which isn't what you are looking for, but could be useful while you sort it out. Is it possible that the font in the config doesn't exist, causing this issue?

I'm on my phone away from my computer, so I don’t know the exact syntax, but I use a built-in kitten to set the font inside my .zshrc

It has its pros and cons, but it works well for me.

Did you remove the # at the start of the font_size setting?

I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I'm not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it's expected.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
