Supported Fonts

The code-to-vid tool relies on the fonts installed on your host system. Because this tool is designed for code, Monospaced fonts are required for proper alignment.

Recommended Fonts

The tool is currently configured to use DejaVu Sans Mono as an example. Here are other reliable options:

Font Name	Style	Note(s)
DejaVu Sans Mono	Clean/Standard	Default for this project
Liberation Mono	Sharp	Standard on Debian/Ubuntu
Noto Sans Mono	Modern	High readability
DSans Code	Modern	Created by dmx3377
Courier New	Classic	Fallback font

How to check available fonts

To see which fonts your system can use, run the following command in your terminal:

fc-list : family | grep -i mono

Changing the Font

To switch fonts, open internal/renderer.py and modify the font_name variable in the ImageFormatter section:

formatter = ImageFormatter(
    style='monokai',
    font_name='DejaVu Sans Mono' # Change this string!
)

You might change it to DSans Code, for example:

font_name='DSans Code'

info NOTE: If you choose a font that isn’t installed on your machine, the renderer will fail with a Font not found error.
