You can specify different fonts for the bold/italic/bold-italic variants.
To get a full list of supported fonts use the ``kitty +list-fonts`` command.
By default, they are derived automatically, via the Operating System's font
management. When :opt:`bold_font` or :opt:`bold_italic_font` is set to
:code:`auto` on macOS, the priority of bold fonts is semi-bold, bold, heavy.
Setting them manually is useful for font families that have many weight variants
like Book, Medium, Thick, etc.
For example::
font_family Operator Mono Book
bold_font Operator Mono Medium
italic_font Operator Mono Book Italic
bold_italic_font Operator Mono Medium Italic
The easiest way to select fonts is to run the ``kitten choose-fonts`` command
which will present a nice UI for you to select the fonts you want with previews
and support for selecting variable fonts and font features. If you want to learn
to select fonts manually, read the :ref:`font specification syntax <font_spec_syntax>`.
