I found this really sweet VT220 font: http://christfollower.me/misc/glasstty/

Is there a way to add it? When I modify app/qml/Fonts.qml and add an entry for the TTF file, CRT outputs: qrc:/PreprocessedTerminal.qml:117:9: QML FontLoader: Cannot load font: "qrc:/fonts/VT220/VT220.ttf," but doesn't tell me much more about it.

This isn't a bug, more of a feature request or a good thing for the wiki.

You have to add the font file to app/qml/resources.qrc as well. And you also need to define the font in FontsScanlines.qml and FontsPixel.qml

This particular font is redundant with the way cool-retro-term already renders scanlines.

Is it possible to replace a font already in CRT? I'm planning to replace the included normal Terminus font with a version patched for Powerline (more supported characters).

You can replace and add fonts. However at least the Hack font doesn't look right. I have tried re-compiling with different settings for it in Fonts.qml a few times but my changes don't seem to make a difference. Perhaps make clean doesn't properly clean...

terminus has newer versions, than what you ship: http://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/files/

a good option for fonts, at least on mac, is to store them outside a resource file (like in cool-retro-term.app/Contents/Resources/fonts) and parse fonts available when the application starts.

For linux I think the same should apply, but as linux install fonts in a common place we're facing a problem trying to scan a bunch of fonts at start.
