Research direction
Start in the assets folder, where the bundled CozetteVector font file is loaded, and find the Zig code that reads it at startup. The payload also mentions the cursor file, which is loaded the same way, so check whether that path can be reused. Done would mean a settings option that selects a font file at runtime, with the design of the settings UI and fallback behaviour agreed first, since the issue does not settle either.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I see that in the assets folder there is font files. So is there a way to to make it so in the settings you can change it by getting another font file? I already tried just renaming my file to CozetteVector and putting it in the assets folder, which worked just fine, it is just a bit weird to have to do that.
Edit: This could also probably be done really easily with the cursor file, as it seems to be handled in a similar way of just grabbing from the file, although it would probably be a lot more complex with different sizes and getting it to work right.
(Love the program btw lowkey thinking about learning Zig just to help with it)
