Summary

  • Pin ghostty bold ASCII rendering to Menlo with font-family-bold, leaving CJK bold on BIZ UDGothic Bold

Changes

  • xdg-config/ghostty/config: add font-family-bold = "Menlo" between the Monaco and BIZ UDGothic Bold entries

Background

Bold ASCII had no dedicated bold face and fell through the regular font-family cascade. Issue #281 verified at ghostty source level (Collection.zig per-style buckets, CodepointResolver fallback) and on-device (ghostty +show-face --style=bold) that this line routes bold ASCII to Menlo while bold CJK still resolves to BIZ UDGothic Bold

Issue: #281

Verification

  • ghostty +show-face --string="のA" --style=bold --font-family-bold=Menlo shows A → Menlo, の → BIZ UDGothic (recorded in issue Route ghostty Bold ASCII to Menlo instead of BIZ UDGothic Bold #281 comment, 2026-07-20)
  • pre-commit hooks passed on commit
  • Visual check in a live terminal that Menlo Bold next to Monaco Regular looks acceptable (subjective, user-side after deploy)

Bold ASCII previously fell through the regular font-family cascade;
pin it to Menlo in the bold-style bucket. CJK bold resolution is
unchanged (falls through to BIZ UDGothic Bold), verified source-level
and on-device with ghostty +show-face in the issue.

Closes #281
