Any way to use custom unicode inside of Julia terminal / VS Code?

For example the following:

Kind regards

It depends what you mean by “use”. Do you want to write code with the characters, display them in a document, draw them in a plot, or show them in the terminal?

I would love to write code, use them in imagery and show them in the terminal - displaying in document I will do using Typst I think

Since Mana is not monospaced, and doesn’t have the basic characters you need (ie ASCII), it will be difficult to write code in VS-Code, which I think only lets you select one font. The terminal can output the glyphs if you select the font:

but it’s not something that’s very usable.:slight_smile:

You could investigate using Pluto or BonitoBook - being HTML-based, they might allow you to display output in different fonts. I haven’t tried it though.

Of course you can probably display them with any package that provides a drawing canvas and lets you choose fonts, such as plotting packages.

Would I be able to specify this font while printing only?

In an environment like Jupyter or Pluto that lets you do HTML output, sure. Not in terminal output, which AFAIK doesn’t let you control fonts.
