Package Cascadia Code with the Terminal (release builds) #2806
Conversation
TTF from microsoft/[email protected]

Just to confirm, the font installs on download? |
|
The font installs when the package is installed. The font is removed when the package is removed. When you want to uninstall the font, you must remove the package (!) |
|
For all intents and purposes, the font is the package. |
|
So if you don't want the font, you have to uninstall the Terminal package? |
Yes. |
|
Out of curiosity, what happens when I install Cascadia.ttf separately? Does the package install a second copy? If I remove Cascadia.ttf, but leave the package, is the font still installed? If I remove the package but not the ttf, does it stay installed? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do we want to somehow track which microsoft/cascadia-code commit is the one in our package?
|
This one in particular requires @cinnamon-msft to sign off. |
Did we test this scenario? I'd assume the TTF would persist but I'm not sure. |
|
I'm concerned that people are already asking for this as a standalone Windows Store package (microsoft/cascadia-code#39) and that bundling it inside the Terminal package would create a conflict with that or multiple entries. Are we going to distribute it this way "for a limited time" until we figure out how to release it standalone and maybe request it as a dependency/download when you install the Terminal package? Or do we always intend to ship a copy of it inside the Terminal package? |
|
@miniksa this is temporary until we can add a dependency on the official package. |
