# 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 select **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 **Blinking cursor**, or type “Cursor blink” in the [Command Palette](/terminal/command-palette/) and toggle the setting.

Note

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