    You can add custom font without termux styling as explained here https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux:Styling

    I tried but glyph errors occurred. The font that was displayed normally on Android was displayed as broken in Termux for the letters i and l.That's why I forwarded it to the repository owners as an issue. I don't know the exact reason. I think it's due to the difference in font processing methods.

    Yeah, the lower case I and L looks kind of same with that font. But I am not sure if it's termux issue or expected behavior. I would recommend to use the nerd fonts or the original version of those as provided in this list https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts?tab=readme-ov-file#patched-fonts

    Changed the Termux font to default font. I think Termux has own font rendering rules. I encountered the same issue in kitty terminal on my Linux distro. Gnome terminal shows font ligatures completely different from the Kitty terminal.

    To sum it up, whatever supports Termux I will use that one.
