# Text, Fonts, & Cursor

Warp supports customizing the font and how text is displayed. This can help improve readability and usability. Warp also supports disabling the blinking cursor.

Note

Once a new font is installed in your system, you need to restart Warp for it to show on the list of options. You may also need to check “View all available system fonts” to see the new font.

## How to use it

### Text and fonts

To access it, go to **Settings** > **Appearance** > **Text**

From there you can customize:

-   Font type
-   Font weight
-   Font size
-   Line height
-   Use thin strokes
    -   The default setting prevents text from being blurry on low-DPI displays.

Caution

On Linux, Warp does not support the “Use thin strokes” feature.

-   Enforce minimum contrast
    -   The default setting tweaks named colors to meet accessibility standards.
-   Show ligatures in terminal

Note

Enabling ligatures can reduce performance. Warp’s default font, Hack, doesn’t yet have ligature support. We recommend a font that supports ligatures (e.g. [Fira Code](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode)) as a stopgap.

### Cursor

To access it, go to **Settings** > **Appearance** > **Cursor**

From there you can customize:

-   Set the cursor type to Bar, Block, or Underline.
-   Toggle the Blinking cursor or from the [Command Palette](/terminal/command-palette/), type “Cursor blink” and toggle the setting.

Note

Cursor type preference is disabled while [Vim keybindings](/terminal/editor/vim/) (vim mode) is active.
