Question on Font colors

JustinSilverman · 2022-05-04 17:18
I really enjoy Doom themes. In particular I like doom-vibrant. The problem is that there are a bunch of faces where the color of the text doesn't show up against the background. One of them is variable-pitch. I assume that variable-pitch face is pretty ubiquitous so I am surprised I am having this problem and that I can't find others mentioning this. Has anyone else had this issue?

Removed, seems to be better. I don't understand fonts at all... ​

If you’re using Arch Linux this [bug report](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72212) may help. It seems like the Cantarell Regular weight font may be missing.
